Jenna Logan Poet Quatern

Change of Season

Leaves are fluttering in sunlight
Soon, they'll all wither and turn gold
Chilled air now takes a nipping bite
Scenic ambience I behold

Summer days dwindle while wending
Leaves are fluttering in sunlight
Another season soon ending
Skies darken earlier each night

Today, a flock of geese took flight
All that's green will soon disappear
Leaves are fluttering in sunlight
Near their shedding time of the year

Brisk winds will blow them all aground
It saddens me to know their plight
for great beauty in them I've found
Leaves are fluttering in sunlight

Sam Kauffman August 19, 2022 at 10:19 AM Jenna, you have effortlessly captured that seamless transition from summer to fall - a transition that almost goes unnoticed except for the subtle, yet ongoing, changes! Best wishes for the contest. Blessings of golden leaves and crisp evenings! Jenna Logan August 19, 2022 at 10:26 AM Thank you very much, Sam. A hint of the season was required, so I appreciate that you saw my subtlety reflected. golden leaves and crisp evenings... sound perfect.

Connie Marcum Wong August 16, 2022 at 10:47 AM I too wish the colored leaves could remain on the trees longer. They display such glory. Your entry is very lovely Jenna. Autumn is my favorite season. I used to visit my friends in Illinois every year in autumn to enjoy the beauty. Blessings xxoo Jenna Logan August 16, 2022 at 1:06 PM I'm always sad to watch them tumble in the wind. Thanks so much for understanding and fine comments, Connie.

L Milton Hankins August 15, 2022 at 1:00 PM Here is northeastern Kentucky, we are seeing so many hints of autumn. Even the air feels like autumn. I liked your poem, especially the "leaves fluttering in sunlight." Very descriptive of the sycamores in my back yard. Nice writing, Jenna. Jenna Logan August 15, 2022 at 1:45 PM I'm getting anxious for cooler weather and football. Thanks for your comments, Milt, especially letting me know a line you liked.
