au revoir to autumn

Autumn reigns in glory but for a season before 
winter covers her with a quilt of snow.
                                                  ~  by poet


au revoir to autumn leaves
tumbling aground in the breeze
leaving their branches disrobed
naked each season of fall

a time for harvests and feasts
pumpkins to carve, pies to bake
for family gatherings
before winter winds blow in

there'll be white blankets of snow
decorations to be hung
jingling bells then will be heard
and voices singing his praise

hearth fire flames become embers
the scent of pine boughs lingers
I am contented with life
in the haven of my home

Rob Carmack Date: 10/7/2024 3:02:00 AM "I am contented with life" is a gift. Often tested by loss, but it remains. Your poem took me back to past family gatherings, when so many were still with us.
