AN Octogram
A chapter in the book Picture Poems
Changing Shades
by Treischel
The shades have changed with season's turn, and OH, the trees, their colors bright as flames that burn as such as these. A touch of magic in the air, that glows with beauty everywhere, to twinkle with the slightest breeze, and OH, the trees. Inspired poets will discern, to great degrees, the nuances that artists learn when their Muse sees those neighborhoods adorned in gold, the yellows, reds, and greens, so bold -- a sight as pretty as you please, and OH, the trees. |

The colorful shades of autumn grace the neighborhoods around St. Paul, Minnesota. What a delight!
