A Pantoum About Autumn

Autumn is a time to take stock of all that you have accomplisehd 
It is a time to put away your summer wardrobe and switch to sweaters 
Close your water taps and shut your windows for at night from now on  
The days will be warm but the nights will be cold. Open your heater  
It is a time to put away your summer wardrobe and switch to sweaters 
Stock up on good books and puzzles for it may be a long winter stay  
The days will be warm but the nights will be cold.  Open your heater   
You now have the freedom to dream and write poetry beneath a safe haven  
Stock up on good books and puzzles for it maybe a long winter stay 
Great minds are never bored and winter is a time to stay home and create  
You now have the freedom to dream and write poetry beneath a safe haven  
Send the world into its frenzy and send yourself home to quietude and peace 
Great minds are never bored and winter is a time to stay home and create 
Autumn is a time to take stock of all that you have accomplished 
Send the world into its frenzy and send yourself home to quietude and peace 
Close your water taps and shut your windows for at night from now on?

Love this Vie. Loved all the task we do for Autumn. You reminded me of some that I had forgotten to do. lol. You certainly thought this out well to include all that you did. Everyone should read your Poetry to be reminded. A wonderful entry for the contest, and a great reminder for all to follow. Thanks for your effort in posting and you are always a pleasure to read. God bless you and have a wonderful day. I will have my wife read this Vie to also be reminded.
