Autumn
Emerald leaves of summer quickly disappear
Autumn arrives as days draw short
Leaves dance in the soft blowing breeze
As multicolored visions now appear
Waltzing ()~ ()

they cascade to the ground
Twirling into disarrayed heaping mounds
Signalling closure to the season warmth
Autumn becomes laden with frosty mornings
Forewarning of the upcoming winters *** snow.* ***

ReplyDeletePhyllis,
ReplyDeleteFall is one of my favorite seasons. I just love to see the leaves changecolor and then fall to the ground, it looks so beautiful...until you have to bag them.
