Notes About The Poem

Another Fall has arrived.

Few Leaves

Few Leaves
By Franklin Price
9/22/2018

Few leaves have changed their greenish hue
Today's the first of Fall
The daytime heat's still Summer like
Winter clothes are at the mall

The days have gotten shorter
Darkness sooner in the field
Harvest time has come again
Filling silos with the yield

Days of Summer  now are gone 
Pumpkins soon for Halloween
Ghosts and goblins in the streets
For the trick or treating scene

God brings autumn colors
Orange, red and yellow to the scene
A short time of great beauty
To replace the Summer green

Colors only for a short time
Then they're falling to the ground
Revealing barren branches
On the hardwood trees around

Won't be long before it's Winter
Gone the vestiges of Fall
And another season of our lives
Hope that you enjoy it all
