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
