Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Autumn's Gift

On wet days, shivering,
we greet late fall,
whose shortening days
bring with icy fingers
hoar frost on the fields at dawn.
Some time before the first light snow,
we take pause, and with loved ones recall -
Autumn’s gift is an abundant harvest.

Charmaine Chircop September 24, 2015 at 4:39 PM Andrea , I was reading many of your etheree poems to get an idea how it goes..and I just tried my first attempt : ). This is beautiful , It celebrates nature at its best , on the last days of fall , when harvesting is Autumn 's gift. Indeed I agree.. Lovely.
