Unappreciated
Sticking to my boot heels
Soft flesh of rain-pelted trees
Downed too early, the newspaper said
To show the very best of fall color
Another failure like this
And the whole year will end
In the middle of December
Instead of just freezing
It will be two weeks
Of absolute zero
And no light at all
Then we’ll be sorry
We criticized
Autumn’s best effort
