The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The guests, painted leaves and brightly-tinted trees of all kinds, have arrived. The air is alive with chatter and laughter.
Birch, golden as sunshine, is an early standout. Royal crimson Maple, gorgeous in shades of red, orange and yellow, follows soon after.
Wild Cherry, in the loveliest shades of dark red and bronze green, saunters through the raucous crowd. Tagging along is Quaking Aspen which dazzles with its golden leaves, shimmering as they flutter in even the slightest breeze.
Not to be outshone, Fragrant Witch Hazel glows with its yellow leaves and mophead-shaped flowers.
All eyes are now on Pomegranate's bright golden leaves, arriving hand in hand with Blueberry's variegated leaves of yellow, orange, and wine red. As well, Red-Twig Dogwood's reddish-purple leaves lend a welcome flash of regal, passionate color, lighting the way for an exciting air of romance and festivity.
The gala parade continues.
Guests have come like moths among the whisperings and the spiked apple cider cocktail, flirting in a sea of fiery red and yellow autumn foliage.
Maestro, music please. Let's kick off the revelry!
