autumn

time for warmer clothes 
for frost could pay a visit 
autumn days are here 

colder days approaching 
trees slowly shedding their leaves 
hibernating creatures 

autumn's demise 
welcomes winter's arrival 
bids summer goodbye

' trees slowly shedding their leaves. ' Before this happens, they change into many vibrant colors. So beautiful, indeed. Autumn has arrived, which means cooler temps and warm blankets. Congratulations John, on Poem of the Week. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
