Fall Splendour



Fall Splendour (Rispetto)
October 11, 2011

A murky hue invades the breeze
while sunshine kisses grass below.
And autumn’s brush paints all the trees
where birds put on an aerial show.

Then I take out my canvas white
to recreate this splendid sight.
But my rendition can’t compare
with nature’s hand splashed everywhere.
