Notes About The Poem

Fall Deep Into Autumn

Farewell summer we bid you goodbye 
As now chill of autumn begins to bite, 
Leaves turn yellow, gold and deep red 
Lovely vibrant colours adorn the trees. 

Deciduous trees finally lose their leaves
Everywhere covered in a carpet of hues, 
Evergreens defy autumn and stay green, 
People go out walking to admire the view. 

Inspiring the poets who capture it in verse 
Not forgetting artists who paint its beauty, 
Time moves on as we near autumns end
October the thirty first; its now Halloween. 

All the trick or treaters are out for some fun
Under the moonlight they look quite scary, 
Trick or treat they say at everyone's door
Using bags and pockets to carry their treats, 
Make their way home now it's getting late. 
Next day is November and winter creeps in.

Autumn is over and winter has crept in. Your Seasonal acrostic has painted a lovely picture of autumn. Perhaps Autumn is the season that has inspired the maximum number of poets. Dear Tom, I greatly enjoyed your October musings.

Pockets must be for the teens, treats in the sweeties they meet. Nice Autumnal acrostic, Tom! Happy Autumn, my friend! Hoping for the clearing through the trees, though just found out my mom has cancer. We’ve been mightily blessed in this family up to this point.
