Forest walk
with an eye for colour
Look ye there
I see another!
Reds, yellows,
greens and brown
A rainbow amongst the trees
and all around.
Feathered friends
and furry ones too
There's lots of life left
Despite Autumn's hue.
Those fleeting rays of sunshine
we chase into the trees
Our false sense of summer;
a pleasure and a tease.
These days a memory
one to cherish true
as winter approaches close
and balmy days are wished adieu
