Suzanne Delaney Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

Autumn Has Found a Home In Me

Memories of swaying palms held dear
Nothing compares to these Fall trees
We wait with joy for colors to appear 
Autumn has found a home in me. 

Nothing compares to these Fall trees
Summer’s gone - now we’ve circled round
Autumn has found a home in me
Her golden beauty holds me spellbound

Summer’s gone - now we’ve circled round
From tropical delight to temperate skyline
Her golden beauty holds me spellbound
Floating in midair like liquid sunshine

From tropical delight to temperate skyline
We wait with joy for colors to appear  
Floating in midair like liquid sunshine
Memories of swaying palms held dear
