The woods are ablaze with golden light,
And the sky seems painted by a child
In the deepest blue, an impossible hue.
It's a festive explosion of colors so warm,
With red-yellow-green-brownish charm -
Of leaves swirling by, a feast for the eye.
People sitting on benches, enjoying the sun.
Children skipping and running, having fun.
It's peaceful, this moment; perfect, blissful.
Myriads of leaves are floating on the pond.
Memories are made, happy and fond
As the cameras click on the selfie stick.
No need for a scarf, or mittens, or a vest;
And winter, that feared, unwelcome guest -
He's nowhere near, still miles from here.
