L Milton Hankins Poet Dizain

Fans of Autumn

Days are much shorter when autumn appears
The warm sun drifting lower in the sky,
Children are happy as Christmas time nears
Thanksgiving brings visions of pumpkin pie.
Let’s not forget October’s Halloween nigh
Happiness reigns even through the cold months
Especially the football season’s punts,
Wrapped up in warm blankets for the home game
Or in camouflage in the woods for hunts,
Each year fans of the season feel the same.

Caren Krutsinger October 11, 2021 at 10:46 AM You have included two of my favorite things about Autumn in these two lines "Thanksgiving brings visions of pumpkin pie. Let’s not forget October’s Halloween nigh" L Milton Hankins October 11, 2021 at 7:15 PM True enough, Caren. I found a whole bunch of your comments that I didn't respond to, for some reason. If I missed one, please forgive me!

Jenna Logan October 9, 2021 at 12:20 PM I know you're not a fan of Autumn, probably much less so of Winter, but you did justice to the season in your lines, Milt. L Milton Hankins October 9, 2021 at 12:59 PM Thanks, Jenna. I do try to be civil about the season! LOL
