Fall

Fading echoes of summer’s play
across the pastures, streams and field
Long shadows dance the end of day
where harvests dry and beg for yield

October pushes cool its breath
dark skies forcing sun’s surrender
giving fruit and trees promised death
with displays of autumn’s splendor

Late September through November is my favorite time of the year. I will gladly let other people enjoy my share of all this heat.

This is a poem from a long time ago. I didn't realize that I had already posted it several years back. I guess, I'm just trying to push this summer heat away.
