Poem text against a background of autumn leaves.

1. Fall Collection
by
Violet Nesdoly

2. I’m collecting fashion
pixels
leaves so stunning,
dyed and pressed.

3. With this season’s
stylish outfits

4. Autumn’s golden
runways dressed.

5. Slender sleeves
of limey yellow

6. ric rac trim
of flaming blush

7. bouffant skirt of
lacy sun rays

8. scarlet gloves
with seams of buff.

9. Stand of trees
is wearing scarlet

10. there’s rain-polished
burgundy

11. trunk shows off a
brooch of coral

12. vivid shawl
of tangerine.

13. Crinkled, dappled,
smooth and spotted

14. late October’s
costume ball

15. though some dither—
can’t decide:

16. Come as summer,
or as fall?

17. Poem and photos
