Change of Summer To Autumn

The summer sky glows green and hot bustling with life It’s early September and summer is coming to a close Shortening days have arrived with Autumn’s change Windy, rainy, wet days have caused the leaves to fall The shedding leaves are brilliant vivid colors of red, orange, and brown Days of hard work from dusk until dawn bring A successful abundant harvest as summer closes Gracefully falling glistening light snow Brings sweet fresh, clean crisp air Settling on rooftops and window seals, Dusting the tree limbs with its white powdery snow Ushering in the start of falling winter temperatures With white crystalline hoarfrost fringes on roofs and ledges Trembling cold children play with joy and laughter Shivering and shaping snowmen and snow angels with icy fingers A magical world of fun running, slipping and sliding As snow falls, so does the sun and the day is done
