The Autumn Day

My hope - that summer, like a sun-drenched dream, might linger through September - splashed away with days and days of rain and endless grey. But then I woke to see a welcome stream of sunlight fall on me. The autumn day, bestowing skies of blue, begged summer stay - then into evening glided with a gleam!

Elegant, Andrea. I love how it just rolls of the tongue, reading aloud and all the slightly old English lingo you used like... begged summer stay. Wonderfully written :)

I love those autumn days that are filled with sunshine, but are not as hot as a typical summer day. This is a perfect description of that. Beautiful writing, Andrea! Good luck in Linda's contest!

Autumn - the time of football and colorful trees. I like this poem. Good luck in the contest - and send me some of your poems - and I will send you mine. Met someone in synagogue who said she liked my poems. Never been married - at 58! but one never knows - do one. Peace & Love and good luck in the contest Peace & Love Matthew Anish
