Autumns Fanfare

Summer winds down, autumn appears Leaves upon ground from deciduous trees Foliage now rustic ebbs slowly away Animals gather food for winters stay. Webs that glisten from wet morning dew Misty white curtains blurs scenery view Rituals and sacrifices in old days of past Thanking God's harvest and future ones last. Daylight grows shorter - long nights begin Bonfire nights and apple bobbing Parents and children carving pumpkins Ghosts annual night visit at Halloween. Horse chestnuts seeds - conkers kids play Blackberries grow plenty, wild fruit of the day Autumns rich colours, beauty fanfare Natures painted canvas and artistic flair. 07.09.21

Hello Emilia ... as you move into the harvest season that you have painted with words, we are feeling the transition from winter to spring with unpredictable weather - thank you Emilia - Lindsay
