A Change of Seasons - a Hexsonnetta

Upon this break of dawn
Touched by an autumn breeze
There rustling in the leaves
I see a hint of bronze
And know it won't be long
Before you strip the trees

Yet knowing this I dare
To dream of you again
As summer starts to wane
Leaves falling everywhere
From mother nature's hair
Ablaze in crimson flames

That set a fire in me
Just like those falling leaves

Hi Elaine! It's been TOO long! This is a superbly constructed HEXSONNETTA, lovely cadence and word choices, '...nature's hair ablaze in crimson flames,' outstanding imagery. Well done indeed!! Best wishes, Keith
