Our neighborhoods are draped in colors new
with canopies of beautiful bright leaves,
displayed there as the cars go driving through,
A tableau every Autumn sweetly weaves.
The boulevards upon which trees all grew,
now cradle us with arches there achieved,
which now provide kaleidoscopic scenes
that mingle reds and oranges with the greens.

And OH, this is a lovely time of year!
A perfect time to be out and about.
There's crispness in the air. The skies are clear.
It's time to leave the buildings and get out
enjoying ambience that's present here.
The effort is worthwhile without a doubt.
Go walk a crunching, color-coated path,
or jump a pile to take a leafy bath.

I love this pleasing season's pretty sights!
No other time of year has so much grace,
with hues that carry such intense highlights,
as vivid vistas end up every place,
while birds prepare for migratory flights,
and falling leaves fill every empty space.
These blessings give a positive report.
My long lament -- "This season is too short".
