The Crimson Forest

When the weather changed the forest
became a bright shade of red.
The creatures that shared the trees all
had their nests built into them.
From branch to branch, twig to twig
the little animals climbed.
Searching for the perfect place
to make a nest their home.

As day turned into night the forest
grew a deeper shade of red.
Until it became the shade of crimson
right before our awe-filled eyes.
The brilliance was so amazing as
the sun shone upon the trees.
Summer spread among the forest
just before April's magical rain.

After the rains the coldness sets in
'til the frozen winter begins.
Soon the forest freezes so solid
below a blanket of snow.
As the season changes again the
trees spring slowly to life.
First the green of the forest starts
until the trees are in full bloom.

In awhile summer comes 'round
again to spread sunshine so sweet.
A bit of rain here and there drops
among the forest so green.
And yes soon the weather changes
again as the leaves start to color.
Autumn sets in once again and
the forest starts to turn red.
