A Seasonal Change

Leaves were green dresses in Spring; now wrinkled with age Yellowed as an old love poem written on a parchment page Stripped from tree limbs by Autumn's vibrant flowing winds Chilled air is part of seasonal changes that Nature rescinds It's sweater weather for long walks on the cool days of Fall Southbound birds fly overhead. I hear their migratory call Into the woods I wandered; dampened by a sprinkle of rain Remnants of fallen leaves line the paths on shores of Maine It's time to build a camp fire, as light of day begins to fade I trek back across a small stream, shallow enough to wade with treasures of an owl's feather, and a scarlet maple leaf The last ray of sun casts a golden glow on the woods' motif September 11, 2020 Autumn-Fall Rhyme Challenge Sponsor: Tania Kitchin
