Autumn Time
I love the change of seasons
as my anticipation grows,
from the awakening in springtime
to the first flakes of snow...
but it's magical for me
when autumn draws near
with its multi-colored show,
it's my favorite time of year!
The orange harvest moon
casts shadows down below,
I love pumpkin and apple picking,
swirling leaves, and scarecrows.
the aroma of pies baking,
the crunch of fallen leaves,
it's the season for hayrides
and the gathering of sheaves.
I savor every moment
while autumn time is here,
and give thanks to the Lord
for this vibrant time of year!

September is my favorite month. Nothing but good things happen for me in this month. Part of what makes it so special are things you focus on here. I love a good poem. I love feeling I am in sync with the writer. I love "Autumn Time" as you describe it.

DeleteChristine, again you warmed my soul with your lovely and inspired poetry. This poem reflects my thoughts as I think on the Autumn season that heralds the coming winter snows that seems to purify all nature. Living in a place with four seasons, affords new and appreciated beauty for me. Thanks for sharing your talent.

ReplyDeleteDear Christine,
ReplyDeleteAutumn seems to be the favorite time of year for many people because of the many things you describe so vividly in your poem - harvest moons, hayrides, colorful displays by trees.
(I too was raised in New Jersey.) When I lived there, I looked forward to the warm hues of autumn as well as the first snowflakes. What a delightful poem!
Love,
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn, Thank you for taking the time to read & comment on my poem. I appreciate it very much. I remember you saying you were raised in NJ. I'm a transplanted Long Islander, but the seasons are the same here. God bless...Love, Chris
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite time of year - your expression covered all my feelings as well for the coming season. Beautiful...
