Leaf Red Burnt to a cinder sadness Scorched to a crimson departure Torrefied to a carmine finality Leaf red leaf red Teased on autumn winds A fallen flourish dance And colour flash defiance Leaf red leaf red For none will remember The leaf in shading green Only the death-throws of Leaf red leaf red _________________________________ Autumn is nature's palette. Such simple beauty in colour leaf and the trees that weep gold, yellow, brown, purple, and every shade of red.
