Autumn Fairy

The Autumn fairy
To my garden she came
Bringing colours and sorrow
As winter gains

Her role in life
Is to console the plants
To ensure their tomorrow
She willingly grants

Trees so massive
As they bow to her words
For the truth she speaks
Never a season absurd

Perennial plants
Continue the hope
And the evergreens
In winters soak

For come the spring
Previous whispers she said
As you look all around
Sights that will turn your head

So come the next fall
When the leaves drift down
Look for the Autumn fairy
Wearing her Autumn gown

Such a magical and happy look at the oncoming cold. I love the idea of the "Autumn Fairy." Thank you for sharing her beauty and the vivid picture of your gentle heart. Very well written. Smiles from Lolita

A nice touch of fantasy here with the "autumn fairy" whispering hope to the plants as winter sets in. You were really on a roll today, Highlander! Three terrific writes! Much love, Carolyn
