Autumn's Advent

The days of dying summer heat give way to Autumn’s chill.
The crispness in the air is sweet; the moon too full, must spill.
The refulgent Harvest moon marks shorter days, longer nights
Ending the growing season before harsh, hard winter bites.

This is a gorgeous write, Linda, and I think the first placement for you in a contest of mine ... all the qualities I lean to and a wonderfully substantive and descriptive write. You are in such good company, as this was a close contest and I had to cut so many good poems. Congrats to you, Dear Poet! - the bard
