When that mood manifests
each blazing view attests
to shocking beauty of
Autumn alight.
Dead leaves brush painterly
in drifts of color we
can't help but rhapsodize,
drowning our sight.
Is it one’s mood that makes
tree-chaff a scene that wakes
awe at its majesty,
hymns of delight?
Or does that minstrel mood
kindle as attitude
by chance of circumstance
when the scene's right?
Thanks to all critics, including those who just liked it >
