Sugars Shift Poem by Ima Ryma

In summer time the leaves are green,
Thanks to chlorophyll in sunlight
Making more sugars which does mean
Other colors will come in sight
When longer nights come in the fall,
And temperatures do fall too,
Causing the sugars in leaves all
To turn from green to other hue.
First to yellow most leaves will turn.
But some leaves' sugars do instead
Have more stored energy to burn
Into an orange than to a red.

Autumn, nature does rearrange
Sugars in leaves and colors change.
