Easing Summer Into Fall

A thick fog wraps it tenacles Encapsulating all Visibility limited Floats summer into fall As the autumn sun rises high Its warmth dries and heats But less warmth and humidity With earlier nightfalls The crickets early this morning Serenaded the moon Knowing soon their last love song sung Will be crooned in quick tune Doves still sing romantic love songs At just the crack of dawn Soon their mournful sounds will quiet They'll rest all winter long Summer's end brings some sadness now Winter's cold, frost, and rain Long cold nights to remember you When in great strength did reign Sponsor: Francine Roberts Contest:Summer's End Written: August 28, 2013

As autumn is my favorite time of the year, seeing the extreme heat of the summer depart is not sad to me, I'm actually happy to see the colder nights and cooler days! The write sure does explain the end of summer quite beautifully my friend! You have portrayed exactly what will be missing and what will end when autumn comes and shows it's own powerful influence! Thank you for writing this illustrious poem, I really enjoyed reading it this morning! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!!
