Dull

The summer sun has lost
its gloss and warmth

And falling leaves are forming
baron tree's

Whilst snow crystals blanket 
them in white

And the laundry on the washing
line now takes oh so long to dry

And i haven't taken an
antihistamine in quite a while

Or sat outside on my garden lounger
or opended up the umbrella

And the watering can is just
quietly sat in contemplation
gathering rust and moss

Nature is in the throes of re-gifting

Yet still takes a moment to leave
a parting gift behind of a
christmas tree for us all to
gather around and decorate
