prized blooms of wild

to autumn, offer all possible shades of red
from orange-red tones through to cerise,
purply reds and deep scarlets, the dahlias
blooming madly, to last until winter’s frost

Author’s Comments:
My first attempt at a quatrain. A quatrain is a form of poetry. The word quatrain is said to be derived from french (old french “quatre”) and latin (”quattuor” or “quatuor”) words that mean four. In its narrow meaning, the term is restricted to a complete poem consisting of only four lines. In its broader sense, it includes any one of many four-verse stanza form of poetry.
