Autumn's Season

Autumn brushes her hair slowly Letting the glorious colors flow gently to the earth below. Showing off vibrant colors in contrast to summer's green dress. Out doing the starkness, of winter's white coat. Autumn compares the mutable shades of spring to her fall Giving a sigh ,end of another season. She packs her brush as frost touches her tips.

i miss those colors....that magical time of change as Earth begins its long-awaited slumber...and you magnificently captured that transition where we begin to long for an end to the ice-mud tug-o-war and the first Robin goes bob-bob-bobbling along...thanks, loved it

Thanks for reading this poem Lindsay. Autumn is now upon us and those leaves are flying everywhere. Putting things away for the winter as it will soon be upon us. Not looking forward to snow.
