Wind wafting wisteria blooms, so gently;
In the purple haze of laid-back summer.
Milky moon gazes through onyx, intently
Red rose shivers, at drumroll of thunder.

Honeyed noon longs for rainbow sunset;
And sable shadows start to sneak away.
Sunrise on molten sea, liquid gold asset!
Yesterday lives in vibrant heart of today.

Farewell flowers. Hail pretty colors, fall!
In beauty, scarlet cardinal is still singing.
Trampled, hued leaves of nature's thrall,
Of no end. Mauve butterflies are winging.
