Not having much in the way of an autumn in sunny QLD I decided to scrap one of my favorite poems about autumn with these gorgeous rich colours!
Autumn Queen of Year
When the pumpkins are so yellow And the vines with grapes abound, When the melons are so mellow And the nuts fall to the ground; When persimmons lose their bitters, And the apples are so red; When we love to eat corn fritters Since the roasting ears have fled; When vacation days are over And the children go to school, They no longer play in clover, But much learn "Arithmos-rule," When weird Hallowe'en's most naughty elves With gnomes and sprites appear, While fat Thanksgiving fills the shelves - 'Tis AUTUMN, QUEEN OF YEAR.
