Autumn Days

Autumn days have now arrived
our summer slipped away
Red and yellow hues proclaim
the change is underway

Soon the leaves will start to fall
the trees will go to sleep
Temperatures will start to drop
and fire wood we’ll  keep

All of nature hurries now
There’s no time for delay
Soon the winter winds will blow
and snow will fall for days

    Excellent flow. I can appreciate how much work goes into a smooth flowing poem that describes the subjects well. It is something that takes a lot of practice and some people just don't seem to get it. I am glad that there are some others such as yourself that spend the time to create beautiful pieces.

    Well, summer is over, autumn theme: can we write many beautiful poems about beautiful colors and crisp and fresh air .... Winter can be nice - but it's too cold - and I do not like to shovel snow. Very beautifully written your poem Jon. oxox love Anne-Lise :)

    Jon, a beautiful scene you painted with words. I would have liked the last line to read- 'and snow will fall for days, and days, and days' just to show the unwelcome length of winter's stay. (even though is breaks the rhyme) Just my perspective-since winter is an unwelcome guest for me!
