Autumn is a calico cat
Freshly painted by the gods
Wearing her bright patches
Prancing through the trees
Leaving colors behind
Her beautiful calling cards--
Catnaps of cinnamon rest
Beside paw licks of apple yellow
Back arches of pumpkin
Are sprinkled amongst
Purrs of cranberry
And the remaining green
Comes from a ball of yarn
She furiously unwinds
While her masters sleep
