dewdrops sparkled
like diamonds on the grass.
A cardinal speared
seeds from sunflowers
and twittered autumn's arrival.
Poplars waved golden palms
in the cold wind,
a wedge of geese
honked through the azure skies.
The corn shocks rattled
tambourines in the pumpkin patch,
and Shewbird Mountain
blushed with mauve foliage
as fall made her debut.
