As Autumn Delays-A Quietus

As Autumn delays, I await 
Winter's crystal snowflakes
With delight, I anticipate
Skating on frozen lakes

Golden leaves turning red
Bare tree limbs I will dread
But I will look ahead 

To chillier days
As Autumn delays

HA...Mark, I'm afraid my days of shoveling snow ended when I left Colorado and moved back home where it's 72 degrees at the moment.
