Cycle of Seasons -Autumn

autumnal equinox
turning leaves, migrating birds
autumn morning chill

leaf peeping pastime 
harvest cornucopia 
nighttime lingers

fall’s first killing frost
season of melancholy
cold of winter near

Wendy Watson Date: 10/23/2019 9:23:00 AM You've captured the essence of autumn in a delightful way,Mark. It's great that you're contributing towards these blogs. Login to Reply Mark Toney Date: 10/23/2019 10:40:00 AM Thank you, Wendy! Brian's idea of having "flash contests" in his blog posts is brilliant. The process moves along quickly, thus making it a challenge. It's helping me to learn different poetry forms that I probably never would have tried otherwise. And it gives us the opportunity to resurrect older poems that fit the bill. Cheers! ~Mark
