Brilliant Colors Of Autumn The brilliant colors of Autumn are all around. Mother Nature�s fall muse 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 muse shall then go to sleep, While the winter muse�s artistry the earth does sweep. Copyright @ M. Doris Fuller
