fair Vermont with all the staples  
lakeside lodge -- the scarlet maples  
will soon shed their fall attire  
but for now the hill's on fire  
as the trees reflect below  
lodge is bathing in their glow

most have come for peace and quiet  
though some labor to deny it  
claim they're just here for the season  
need no other rhyme or reason  
then October in the air  
and November's almost there

but a few will try to capture  
thrill, intoxicate, enrapture:  
being there, they feel a duty  
to attempt and share its beauty  
to portray it in repose…  
count me among one of those
