Front row seat at the fall fashion show
Awestruck by the beauty before me
Under royal blue sky
Streets lined with Autumn’s glory
Unlike Gucci or Dior
She drapes her models
In familiar fabric
Year after year
No pantone colors for Mother Nature
Flame leaf sumac
Seems to strut
Clad in crimson
Red oak competes
They both strike poses
Frozen
Until the wind blows
Mrs. juniper’s evergreen
Adorned with globes, tiny and blue
Nearby, her spouse sports
Orange fingertips full of pollen
Finally,
Shining like flakes of gold
Are Cedar elm’s yellow leaves
Wrapping up the best show ever
