Autumn's Gifts

Bright orange pumpkins, rainbow maize
Woodlands splendid colors blaze
Skies of brilliant brightest blue
Autumn's dazzling gift to you.

Chrysanthemums in vivid bloom
Apple cider's sweet perfume
Pumpkin pie and turkey stew
Autumn's dazzling gift to you.

Persimmon puckers on your face
Windows trimmed in icy lace
Sunbeams on the frosty dew
Autumn's dazzling gift to you.

Smoky smell of burning leaves
Wafting on the chilly breeze
Jack o' lanterns, witches brew
Autumn's dazzling gift to you.

Shorter day and longer night
Fireplace shedding gleaming light
Bidding summer sweet adieu
Autumn's dazzling gift to you.
