Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

Fall Deep Into Autumn

Feel the fresh new breeze. Fly yourself with it to fields
Abloom with asters of September. Acquiese to fall, but more . . .
Let yourself be led to linger where it touches leaves with gold.
Luxuriate in all for you that fall can have in store!

Dally with it! Let its display of beauty dazzle you.
Embrace it finally with effervescence so you may more fully be
Enchanted by its flavors. Savor them as well as its earthy aromas.
Pluck its plump ripened apples. Inhale the fall’s unique potpourri.

Immerse yourself in it! 
Notice everything. Never in another season will you see ablaze
The trees with such bright colors.
Only will you see this in autumn’s days.

Admire and appreciate this pre-winter time.
Under a harvest moon, how many lovers have sighed?
Twilights of October – let their splendor fill your eyes.
Umber then will caress you sooner. This can’t be denied.
Memories of summer wane - so fall deeply . . . till fall is through.
Nature’s swan song for the year – let it enrapture you.
