Autumn Breezes

As autumn breezes bluster, leaves descend
Parading nature's pageantry of hues
The ceremony is the season's cue
To summon Jack Frost and his chilly friends

Jack signals for the snow flakes to begin
While he ice skates on frozen crystal streams
The moon enhances nightly with moonbeams
Fall colors gone, now winter's white transcends

Wrapped in her blankets, Mother Nature sleeps
One autumn leaves the other downy snow
She's dormant in her springtime reverie
And all the while the snow is drifting deep
As winter rages on and blizzards blow
Those autumn breezes turned to Northerlies.




   an original poem by Daniel Turner
   NOT FOR CONTEST
words to use: Flakes, Jack Frost, skating
                    snow, crystals, blizzard

Sharon Gulley Date: 9/7/2016 8:21:00 AM Oh my that picture and write sounds and looks sooooo cold. Autumn here just means cooler air and beautiful colors. I don't know what I would do with a frozen Autumn. Beautiful write Daniel, but chilly. : ) burr, Sharon Login to Reply Daniel Turner Date: 9/8/2016 11:00:00 AM Thanks for dropping by, Sharon.
