Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Ever-Changing Fall

"And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves..." - Virginia Woolf

When sun grows stingy in the sky
melancholy wilts happy flowers

summer’s long days will be fading away
when trees announce fall’s coming 
in their brightest attire

Gold and Crimson waltz
in autumn’s cooling breezes.
Pumpkins wear strange grins!
Summer’s obituary 
by this time has been planted.

when rivers and lakes
solidify into ice . . .
december skates in
