Watching leaves turn like chameleons <br />Sensing Autumns......inevitable doom <br />Scathed by southern winds, breathing <br />Thru' Mother Natures.....Winter tomb <br />Her October conception bleeds colour <br />Autumntide....wherein she finds home <br />Sky's lustrous drapes...dropp and cover <br />O'er harvests cold, shadow'd greystone <br />And, October.....no choice but to yield <br />Unto Novembers...harsh, ossified meal <br />While, Mother Nature spins her breeze <br />Casting Autumn... unto Winters freeze <br /> <br />Burnt umber leaf.....Octobers breadth <br />'Til Winter's birth hails Autumns death<br /><br />Frank James Ryan Jr...FjR<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-death-of-autumn-sonnet-12-21/
