Jeanne Mcgee Poet Verse

After Summer

forever following after summer sunshine
the fall brings rivers of russet rumblings
as ripened leaves listen to the rain
windswept winter is secretly watching…

windswept winter is secretly watching
as ripened leaves listen to the rain
the fall brings rivers of russet rumblings
forever following after summer sunshine

Paul Callus August 21, 2020 at 4:25 AM Nature's transformation from one season to another is very striking, Jeanne. Congratulations on your fine win. Regards // paul Jeanne Mcgee August 23, 2020 at 2:42 PM Hi Paul...I love the change of seasons, with fall being my favorite for the colors and summer for the warmth, winter for starkness of beauty and spring's new growth...thank you for your comments!

Sam Kauffman August 20, 2020 at 10:17 PM A great foreshadowing of the seasons to come with beautiful alliteration and assonance giving your poem an underlying melody. Just lovely Jeanne! On a personal note I guess I'm not ready to let go of summer! Congratulation on your win! Jeanne Mcgee August 23, 2020 at 2:40 PM Thanks Sam...I'm not ready either, so I'm driving to Mexico. Enjoy the rest of summer.
