Notes About The Poem

As Autumn's Breeze


As autumn's breeze prepares for fall's return,
tho still some summer warmth may overflow, 
the shortening of days signals the turn
to think about that season's golden glow.

October stirs her brilliant autumn blend
of colored leaves that fall and drift away.
Her cold, crisp air embraces to befriend,
and we're aware that fall is here to stay.

November days deliver winter's prize,
and soon, when we awake on colder days,
we know that fall is sending last goodbyes
as snowy days ahead prepare displays.

December comes with heavy winter skies;
full winter now to bloom as days proceed,
with snow-filled days, a time that soon implies
we turn our minds to wintertime full speed.

Jack Frost will visit with his flakes of snow,
perhaps a blizzard, crystals on the trees;
ice skating on the frozen pond will show
full winter now is born from autumn's breeze.

Mrs Sandra, your imagery is spectacular. I know where you live, you get some really heavy snows. I just wish she hadn't had this contest so early. The thought of winter is soooo depressing. Lovely write as always. Your poems are such a treat for me.
