Autumn in July - a Poem -
Pretty PinOak, won't you show
how the autumn's going to go.
There you stand, now leafed-out well,
So, kindly do your best to tell
of coming days when acorns fall
and leaves then all
turn brown and lose their summer green
and thus change that from what has been.
Pretty PinOak, we'll be waiting
for the autumn storms' abating,
winter cold, and springtime greening.
Leaves again. Eternal meaning.

Nice poem! 
But I hope there will be a few leaves left for the real autumn, this ain't fair.
