Fall Sets To Turn
Fall Sets To Turn
When timely Fall sets to turn
leaves hit the ground to burn
Epic radiant colors cascade down
forested floors see leafy gown
Winter's visitor did arrive
farmers feel jubiantly alive
Harvest in , time to rejoice
winter's precurser has voice
Sounds of birds taking flight
heading South day and night
Leaves carpet forest floors
Nature soon opens another door
Moonlight nights see it all
glowing as owls hoot the Fall
Native Americans wasted no time
prepping for another bad clime
Furry critters store more food
rushing all in the frantic mood
Living in a deep winters wrath
they pursue a surviving path
Fall retreats into winter sea
naked visits each pretty tree
Leaves wrapping their roots
Nights ring out owl's hoots
Silence cries the coming day
when winter will cast its sway
Snow may cover all in white
Fall has raced out of sight

note: My favorite time of the year Fall and it is an honor to
present now my 400th poem here as a tribute for its seasonal glory.
I am no big fan of winter at all.
