Notes About The Poem

Autumn's Breeze

Bright days of autumn have arrived Leaving the unforgotten summer sunshine behind Sneaking in shorter days with less time to play Early nightfall chill under breath warm peaceful sleep Suspended gray hue fog between sky and earth Clouds weep cold rain yet eyes grasp As autumn succeeds a breeze with ease Deciduous trees start undressing their love of joy Turning them from green to, yellow, scarlet, or both Waltzing round and round like a flicker of flame falling to the bottom Among the others becoming one with the earthly carpet knee deep Hopes for harvest affliction reap The rising sun and the darkest night of dreams As winter makes his entrance as snow-flakes fall Arising tall to cold winter frost, ice flowers on window panes Glistening ice crystals on vegetation have withered and hanging limp Unwelcoming blizzard stirs, lifting feathery snow with surprising sweep Adults and children glide and spin effortlessly as their ice skate blades slice through the ice surface Enjoying nature at its finest, skating on a frozen lake
