were strewn on the park-land's ground
as fall confetti

cascaded o'er the aspen's
tall majestic stem

didst come in a primrose bloom
of vibrant pink blush

emerge from winter's cocoon
of white snow wrapping

in our local park

cut through the forest's canopy

plumes of profuse grey smoke
did rise to the sky

the eternal wolf keeps watch
over tribal lands

the sky this very day
did don a cape of dull grey
so drab the display

by morrow's morning
there'll be a brighter dawning
with sunlight spawning

thundered down the main drag
of our small township

her heart's lively red color
drained to pallor

on the deep cream painted fence

like spray on pink cheeks

now quench the dry countryside
with a damp blessing
