The Autumn of my Dreams
Burgandy and tangerine
in amongst the greens;
I must confess they do express
the autumn of my dreams.
I don't recall ever seeing these
amongst the other hues,
But when I look at the canvas -
the artist has made news.
The autumn of my dreams -
against the clear-blue sky;
Colours that I'll remember
when winter white is high.
