Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Farewell, Withering Autumn

Farewell to the withering of Autumn days
its bare branched trees and fields of maize
to the ripened acorns, hoarded by squirrels
and chimneys belchng black smoke curls

Goodbye to Fall's colors and pumpkin spice
Soon to succumb to Winter's sleet and ice
In silence, snow covers the ground, completely
I fold away memories of Autumn, discreetly

I find solace that fallen leaves are concealed
under blankets covering meadows and fields
In layers of woolens and my fingers in mittens
I desire to roam outdoors, like curious kittens
