Hello Autumn, Goodbye Summer

Summer says so long as glorious autumn takes it place Less humidity and cooler nights puts smiles on our face Cloudy fall wet days give relief from the hot blazing sun Spectacular fall colors have only just wondrously begun A previously soft velvet lawn is sadly now a hoar frost crunch Squirrels dashing frantically collecting nuts for winters munch Trees boastfully showing off their multi-colorful leaves so grand While a wonderful cascading light snow beautifully coats the land Sweat glands sigh in relief as shivering becomes the norm Bracing ourselves for the transition as the seasons transform Needing gloves to keep icy fingers warm on our daily walks Observing abundant harvest displays mixed with corn stalks The shortening days lets the moon have it's grateful turn To shine in brilliance more often until summer does return 9/26/2015 ~For Shadow Hamilton's Seasonal - Poetry Contest ~
