Autumn Lingers

Autumn leaves whirl in one last dance The earth receives old winter's glance Change is coming with morning frost Against the gate the branches tossed A quiet dream of autumn lingers on One last robin hops across the lawn Soon Ill be dusting off my winter self And put this golden season on the shelf....

My old winter self, may need a bit more than a dusting!! (Maybe a street sweeper!!) What a lovely, and unique twist in your lovely poem! (And Thanks so much Barbara, you are always very generous with your comments to me...they never go unnoticed! :)
