Autumn came in darkness like thieves at night Recalculated angle of fireball Flung out a master canvas so, so bright Readjusted the thermostat to cool fall Touched the pumpkins just for Halloween fright He blew deadly frost upon the cool pears Left them chilled ready to noisily splat As they land on rain drenched earth whose affairs Weight it down like many bureaucrats Dancing through long hushed nights putting on airs Remembering last year as I re-read Life much the same as last year except___well COVID visited from hell, planted seed It skirted round and entered where I dwell Fall you breath of fresh air, heal us I plead Autumn with cooler, drier air bring us joy Sling out rust, red and yellow; our days fill We now fully understand COVID's ploy Let's overcome this heinous disease spill Immerse us all this fall~ color enjoy Date: 09-23-2021 Sponsor: Emile Pinet Contest: Quintain(Sicilian) The first two stanzas are somewhat rewritten from last year and then two added stanzas from today.
