Avenues of Autumn Turn

Grassy verged mounds On a country roadside grace Where a canopy of browns Declare autumn in place The branches rise While winter nears As if they were praising the sun Allaying their fears For after their fall Another colour may grace In crystal form And the lands will embrace The whitening ices Grounds barren to white Crisp starry skies Like sparkling lights With a flick of her switch She turn spring on As the buds appear Singing a totally new song Through the bright months they grow As the temperature warms Natures miracles In all shapes and forms Our smiles get wider As the summer blooms Fragrances aplenty Like scented perfumes And here we are It's autumn again The seasons like great symphonies Always proud and replaying http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature-5.php

Good Autumn morning, Highlander, (What time is it there? 6:30 AM here on North America's East Coast.) Nature's symphonies are magnificent. This poem is a delightful way to end a restless night and begin a new day. God Bless you, James. Lovingly, Dane

The crystalized branches of winter always seem like a wonderland. Indeed, the seasons are playing and replaying "like great symphonies." Excellent imagery and a sense of the passage of time and its impact on all of us. Wonderful write, James! Love you! Carolyn
