Premiere Contest WinnerAutumn In the Air

September creeps close
as August hangs on dearly
subtle hints of Fall...
an odd tingling in the air
a slight shudder in the trees

The trees, the animals, the people, everything seems to feel a slight shudder as the autumn season approaches. You've captured that feeling perfectly!.... Nicely done, Tim! Congrats on your win!

I love it!!! That's what I felt when I witnessed autumn for the first time in my life when I went abroad. I don't have Autumn in my country it is not very noticed.
