Foliage glistens long all summer through
Fall finds a way for the leaves to say adieu
Photo - synthesize
Great phase while sun fries
Chills betook a kindly season to de-leave

Storm winds' blight blew
Makes it arduous to sprout;
Must budding still !
Some winds astrew
Shakin' deciduous
A clever thing to tout treewill

(Not the way that pines are so inclined
They found a way, to keep leaves- stay dressed a-pined)

A-bates when there's ice
So it's good to find a season to de-leave

Give persimmons long enough to strew...
It's kinda strange to shed leaves, but it must do
Photo - synthesize
Great phase while sun fries
Till limbs shook, decry a season to de-leave...

Some pin oaks do
Shake and shed their leaves about
So lovely elms...
Some beechbarks do
Quake a leafyful spread
And clever hickories lie sylph

Some dogwoods too...
(Rake a yard of leaves and tote
Bin-ward or else)
Soon winds ensue:
Makes a breezy-ful gift
Cold weather's sting is autumn's wealth

Syc-a-mores do...
Maples garbed in crimson shout
Mullberry's svelte
Cottonwoods too...
Willow, weepy by riv'
Endeavors to denude itself

Some sweetgums do...

(fade to autumn reds, yellows and oranges...)
