As Autumn Arrives

As autumn arrives she heralds
The shortening days and changing of weather
The trees are stripped bare of their cover
And that doesn’t make things any better
Wet days give way to hoarfrost
Light snow slowly begins to hover
Mornings so cool, shivering as we wake
Drinking coffee with icy fingers 
We wonder what this day will bring
We sit and linger as we plan an outing 
To the orchard for abundant harvest
Apple cider awaits us there 
This is autumn at its best!

I love the sweet simplicity of this. Also, any poem written about autumn is a good poem in my book :)
