Autumn's Cornucopia
As the window closes on Summer's breeze,
A door opens for Fall's colored leaves...
Crispy sweet apples and plump pumpkin squash,
Solitary scarecrow continues to watch.
Shorter days with longer nights,
Misty fog causes blurry sight.
Green turns into late season brown,
Barren limbs as leaves carpet ground.
Early morning frosted landscape,
Slight slips possible without wearing skates.
Knitted caps with oversized scarves,
Clouded breath leaves trails at large.
Gradual prequel to Winter's ice,
Some preparing hibernation
.....their need to survive.
Before harsh frozen winds begin to unseat,
They enjoy gorging upon Autumnal treats.
Familiarity of seasonal change,
Periodic in it's cyclic arrange.
From mountainous colors with snowy caps,
Nature's creatures fall into relapse....
Thanksgiving turkey and treats of Halloween,
After, Christmas yule tides upon the scene.
The caring and sharing of Nature's bounty,
Cornucopia horn full of plenty...
