Adieu

Leaves still clinging golden and true
after the first Autumn snowfall.
Boughs waving windy good byes to
the last of the yarrows white pall.

Fallow fields of rye long gone by
who also wave heartfelt adieu
as the wild geese cry flying by
so neatly arranged in their queues.

Yes summer is about to say good-by. I use to run up to Beardstown Illinios quite often this time of the year. And the maple tree leaves around the corn fields were amazing in their many shades of colors. Arkansas has had a lot of rain this fall, and that makes for a beautiful forest of many colors, in the Ozark mountains. Where I live. Thanks for your comment today, Sincerely, Love, Moses
