Lauding the Autumn Landscape

In my home state of Ohio, the autumn leaves are ablaze with color.

Reds range from scarlet to rose,

Oranges from pumpkin to peach,

Yellows from sunflower to pale butter.

There are still greens – the evergreens

and those few majestics shrouded in green until the last.

Don’t forget the browns and the tans, so shy, almost beyond notice.
