Notes About The Poem

Placed 1st in Brian Strand's Just January Posted Contest

      *********************************************

From Fall to Winter




donning
short sleeves

so soon
warmth leaves

no more
mild breeze

now comes
slight freeze

cold wind
gray skies

mid-fall’s
allies

winter’s
coming	

cold that’s
numbing

some days
dreary

don’t be 
teary

stoke the
firewood

flannel
feels good

sip hot 
cocoa

let the
lines flow

write of
pure snow

laud these
seasons

for this
reason

both have
glory

tell their
story
