Autumn arrives overnight
Unzipping her bag of colors
Trees brace for her creative touch
Unfazed, she sets to work painting
Masterpieces, that bow and fall
Neath her feet to create carpets of color
Acrostic

Autumn arrives overnight
Unzipping her bag of colors
Trees brace for her creative touch
Unfazed, she sets to work painting
Masterpieces, that bow and fall
Neath her feet to create carpets of color
Acrostic
Under the old shade tree
In places where the sun peeks through
The morning dew shines
It sparkles like diamonds
Scattered on a green carpet

As I danced today,
The sun cast a rainbow at my feet.
The colors danced across the carpet,
Moving to the music’s beat,
It was all quite magical,
A sight to behold.
As the rainbow colors,
Touched my shoes of gold.
