A Hint of Autumn

A hint of Autumn I can feel
in August when it starts to cool.
It's a small pup at my heel -
not too noticeable – yet real!

Though changes yet I cannot see,
a hint of Autumn I can feel.
More comfortable I’ll soon be.
September’s days are my ideal!

Like fruit when you remove their peel,
a zing revealed comes in the fall.
A hint of autumn I can feel.
Right now - a child - it’s at a crawl.

But by October leaves change hues.
Nature no more can conceal
the season’s beauty that ensues.
A hint of autumn I can feel.

Your quatern was perfectly suited to bring autumn into my mind - I had forgotten anything existed except hot weather so I thank you!

"A hint of autumn I can feel" indeed! So many wonderful images of things that move slowly at first like a child learning to crawl and then taking off at full speed walking. Best wishes for the contest. Happy Approaching Autumn!

Nicely done Andrea. The autumn speaks to heart no matter the season--- especially when summer is still reigning.
