Autumn's End

gold autumn leaves cling
to blackened skeletal trees
winter’s first snow melts

poet walks away with suitcase
red umbrella’s protection

Hello Sara, long time no hear! Our autumn was dismal this year, no more than three days of some color, then rain and lots of wind. We don't expect snow until December. No matter I'm too old to appreciate it now. Happy to know you're still writing poems. Many thanks for stopping by. / M

Maurice, This was not about me or my area but just imagination about the picture or a picture like this one. We had some wind and rain which destroyed some leaves and twigs on the trees and also a long dry spell this autumn which made the leaves not as pretty as they have been. We do not have snow every year usually about 10 years apart but we never know here in the south what we will get in the winter. Thanks for stopping by. Sara
