Bring On Fall

The leaves are falling, falling, enriching
cool of fall season. Shades of fiery red,
yellow, gold, emitting light; bewitching
green summer leaves. Wondrous mystical bed
a time of windblown beauty gone and fled.

The past forgotten upon umber boughs
which shudder left disrobed, misbegotten.
A new beginning, a new smile endows
nature's convergence. Up comes the cotton
spun and woven into cloth, not boughten.

Wailing chill of long hours of Halloween.
Scrumptious Thanksgiving aromas, feasting
with loved ones. Time full of gladness between
new birth of a child and birthdays lasting
smiles. Season of rainy days were jesting.

It is the season that has the most delightful surprises that touches all our senses so vividly and sticks in our minds. It is a time when all the seasons hold hands and you can hear their whispering in the trees. It leaves the taste of marble cake in ones mouth. Enjoyed this one. I am sure if Autumn was reading it would be nodding in agreement and showering you with leaves of every colour. Best regards David in NZ
