Notes About The Poem

Autumn Glory

Autumn Glory

Autumn glory with leaves you shed,
At summer's end you make your bed.

With frosty breath you chill the air
And color trees with such grand flair.

Disrobing limbs begin to shake
Reflected by the crystal lake.

The harvesting will be gone soon
Enchanted by the golden moon.

Your hoarfrost covers pumpkin skins
That will be carved with silly grins.

Oh autumn drape me in your hues
In splendor of your awesome views.

And I will praise your autumn charms
As I'm wrapped in your gilded  arms.

Here I am eager for Spring, but these promising words make me wish for Autumn. Though most definitely not Winter, oh no not again so soon.

I just searched for "autumn glory" and bing images gave it to me. It was exactly what I was looking for. My poem doesn't begin to do it justice. I miss autumn in the colder states and love it here because the humidity becomes less and it is lovely. Thank you very much John. I always enjoy your visits. I appreciate the 7 ; )
