Autumn is near; listen and you might hear birds chatter more and cicadas singing. Asters and bright goldenrod will appear. Southward bound, the geese in V’s start winging. Longer grow the nights, and you may see farmers bustling in their ripening fields. Days are cooling down degree by degree. How beautiful the bounty late summer yields. There’s just a certain something in the air. Whether a feeling, scent, or just a breeze that blows with tranquility through my hair, the last of summer’s rays I wish to seize.

Dear Andrea, You make me want to run down country roads, chasing after those “days cooling down degree by degree” (such a perfect line!) and maybe try to hold onto every bright petal and sunbeam before autumn wraps it all away. Although Autumn is my favorite. Blessings, My Dear Andrea, Daniel

Smashing entry for the contest, Andrea. You describe autumn very nicely indeed…. What a shame that it always lets that blasted winter fella in…. Yikes… I feel a poem coming on ;-)
