Vermilion Veils in the Wind
Red leaves spin,
Soft winds begin,
Trees sway slow,
Veils drift low.
Branches bend,
Breezes send,
Falling light,
Day turns bright.
Vermilion spread,
Gold and red,
Autumn’s call,
Veils over all.

The Gold-Tipped Branches
The branches now gleam in gold,
Touched by the autumn so bold,
They shimmer and sway,
In the soft light of day,
A sight that never grows old.
The sun gives a kiss so light,
To tips that now burn so bright,
A soft golden hue,
Turns green into new,
And sets the whole world alight.
In silence, they flicker and shine,
These branches in autumn’s design,
With each little gust,
Their glow turns to dust,
A moment so pure, so fine.

Rustling Ruby Leaves
Ruby leaves in the air,
Rustling soft everywhere,
They twirl and they spin,
In autumn’s soft wind,
Painting red hues with care.
Each whispering leaf takes flight,
Dancing under soft light,
They drift and they fall,
Answering nature’s call,
In a slow, graceful delight.
The trees sing a quiet tune,
In the cool light of noon,
Their branches release,
A quiet, red peace,
As autumn moves in soon.

A Canopy of Amber Light
Amber shines bright,
Through trees in flight,
Leaves softly fall,
A golden call,
The sky turns deep,
While branches sleep.
A glowing dome,
Leaves call it home,
They catch the light,
A peaceful sight,
Their colors blend,
As day does end.
Beneath this sky,
The light draws nigh,
Each step you take,
The colors wake,
In amber hues,
You lose your views.

Emerald to Amber
Green fades to gold,
As days grow cold,
Leaves start to turn,
With autumn’s burn,
Emerald hues fall,
To amber’s call.
The trees stand still,
On the quiet hill,
Colors shift slow,
In a gentle glow,
From green to bright,
In soft, warm light.

Woven in red,
The leaves are spread,
Each branch entwined,
In autumn’s mind,
A bright display,
Of fall’s array.
The trees stand tall,
In crimson's call,
Each leaf a part,
Of nature’s art,
A woven sea,
A tapestry.
