An Autumn Woolgathering
As the time of long light gathers dark and draws near
Frosty days appear to host falling leaves and rainbow showers
I sit adrift dreaming while I wile away the grey hours
Or reading a book left behind in summers overdrive gear
It’s time to change my August dress for sleeves of Autumn wool
I spend blustery ripe afternoons adorning my porch swing
While in my mind I swim backwards to have a jolly good fling
Still prone on my floaty at the local neighborhood pool
Yet I love all the colors of pumpkins and apples delicious smell
Falls glorious season of beauty is a tangible delight
To ramble and stroll pathways or fly a windswept high kite
If only I could motivate to move out of my warm summer shell
