Beautiful fall day
Artistically painted trees
In various hues
Beckon me to pause awhile
And my five senses rejoice

Autumn arrived yesterday all aglow
Dressed in red, orange, brown and yellow
A pallet of color she held in her hand
and she used it to change the scape of my land.
A bounty of fruit she left in her wake
the abundance of which I could freely take
Color so vibrant brought my senses alive
Autumn! I am so glad you chose to arrive!
Rhyme

The old fence is hidden by
Your purple pendent clusters.
The sight of you brings joy to my morning
as your fragrance permeates the air.
My senses react pleasantly, and
my mind marks a memory of this moment.
Wisteria, starting the day with you
has enriched my life and uplifted my spirits.
