Autumn Arrival
The stained
glass fragile
face of the blue
sky
Gently whispers
the arrival of
shorter days.
As boring
laziness of
summer days
kiss the earth
goodbye
Bright sun
artistically
paint the day
with chill rays
Beneath the
merriment of
yellow and red
colors of
sycamore
leaves
Perfumes of
the stealing
autumn arrest
my keen nostrils
As busy-laden
squirrels hustle
nuts with belief,
Mine eyes are
fed with
everlasting
thrills
Soon, the
sentry poplars
shall undress to
yield wind
request
And dance
naked before
the scented
daylight
Their ripped
fruits dangling
like damsel's
breasts
Shall kiss the
bright-yellow
lips of sunlight
Then, autumn
has cursed the
earth with her
chill wand
And all shall
dance her
drumming band
