Notes About The Poem
Note: The Constanza was created by Connie Marcum Wong. In this form, the first line of each stanza will form the rhyming
lines of the small poem beneath the larger one, so it's two poems in one!

All Fall - a Constanza
September’s autumn time is small,
for at the Equinox, the sun
still warms the face when fall’s begun.
October holds us each in thrall. . .
to beauty - leaves turned gold from green -
and scary fun of Halloween!
November’s sky becomes a pall.
But all that gloom cannot compete
With time of thanks and much to eat!
Then comes December’s joyous call -
The carolers, the jingling sound
Of sleigh bells over snowy ground.
The Yuletide thus concludes it all -
a happy note to end it on,
for Christmas comes and fall is gone!
September’s autumn time is small;
October holds us each in thrall. . .
November’s sky becomes a pall.
Then comes December’s joyous call -
The Yuletide thus concludes it all.
