Edifying Autumn

Summer fades as thunder clouds roll in,

Darkened skies hold lightning bolts within.

Autumn rain shares laughter with the din.

As splashes of hues become akin,

A race in which the sturdy will win.

Leaves dance and twirl like the ladies spin.

I’m so inspired to write again

With my poet’s heart that dwells within.
