Tree Party

Autumn is one big rowdy party  
All the colours play their part  
One last hurrah before descending  
to the monochrome of winter  

Green is the host, calm and responsible  
preparing food  
cleaning the house  
setting the stage for celebrations to come  
Months of preparation  
 
Golden yellow brings conversation  
cheerful smiles  
bubbling banter  
sharing life’s moments  
warmth and friendship  
Casual contemplation  
 
Orange strolls in with lights and music  
electric energy  
frenetic fun  
dance your ass off  
lunatic laughter  
Frolicsome flirtation  
 
When red arrives, things come unhinged  
intensity, ecstasy  
pleasureful pain  
a spark of insanity  
call the cops  
Rebellious exultation  
 
Autumn is one big tipsy vigil  
All colours defying their destiny  
One last hurrah before descending  
to the monochrome of winter
