Autumn Angel The Autumn angel is visiting our town, Spreading her beauty of the fall season. Soon we will be giving thanks to God, For a bountiful year shall be the reason. I welcome this special time of the year. When the heat of summer starts to fade. As the leaves turn from green to brown, In a strong northern wind they cascade. In the fields farmers harvest their crops, While storing grain for feed this winter. Children carve pumpkins as jack-o-lanterns, In costumes for treats they are enchanters. This is such a wonderful time of the year. Nature‘s glory looks like a beautiful painting. Our earth is covered in shades of brown, Orange and golden brilliance never waning. Now this autumn angel prepares all the Plants and creatures for a long winter sleep. Our earth will only be waiting for spring, When again the cycle of life will repeat. Copyright @ M. Doris Fuller Brilliant Colors Of Autumn The brilliant colors of Autumn are all around. Mother Nature’s fall angel paints our town. She is the artist and our earth is her canvas. At painting brilliant colors she’s no novice. She is painting the leaves orange and brown. From the tree branches they are falling down. The countryside looks like a Monet painting. My eyes are in awe while her spirit is reigning. Farmer are now harvesting the golden fields, This year they will have a most bountiful yield. Children will soon be going to the pumpkin patch, Carving jack-o-lanterns from this year‘s batch. The wild turkeys are painted a colorful plume, The threat of Thanksgiving dinner over them looms. The family will be gathering at grandma’s house, Where our holiday spirit will surely be aroused. But soon the brilliant colors of Autumn will give way, To white winter snows and romantic rides in sleighs. Mother Nature’s fall angel shall then go to sleep, While the winter angel’s artistry the earth does sweep. Copyright @ M. Doris Fuller
