Autumn Afternoon

Turning sun's touch realign and tilt
Languid brooks scarce compete with hardy
The breeze of ease reposing and tardy
As debutants of summer seem to wilt

I am amazed when poets can readily find a poem they had already written; I never can. Good luck in Greg's unique contest, Michelle. This one was beautiful both times around.

Wilting is a natural result of suddenly realising, "Damn! Its cold outside!" and there is no warmth to be seen on one's horizon! Happy to see you are back! Aloha! Rico
