Orange is the color
October 25, 2011Orange is the color
It’s the color of pumpkins ready for their big night
With primping and carving to get them just right
They will glow and invite little goblins and ghosts
To each creepy doorway to see who gathers most.
It’s the color of oak leaves holding on ‘til the end
Now they swirl to the ground where the time they will spend
Being raked, being gathered, being crunched, being seen
They define changing seasons, think you know what I mean.
Oranges and yellows, deep reds, russet browns
It is Nature’s own painting as she settles down
For soon she’ll start over with white, snowy white
As winter is welcomed and fall says good night…
