Hints of Autumn

Hints of Autumn are so subtle, like ripe crops, awaiting harvest. And nights that darken earlier, after the dog days of August. Falling leaves appear overnight, hints of Autumn are so subtle. Like a pumpkin turning orange, under leaves of emerald green. Canopies start changing colors: even though October's far off. Hints of Autumn are so subtle: like, children heading back to school. And other subliminal signs; like, honking geese migrating south. Although Fall is celebrated, hints of Autumn are so subtle.

Your poem conveys the ease of the changing season we don’t notice until the chill sets in. A gorgeous entry Emile. Blessings xxoo

Hello Emile. This is lovely with marvelous imagery not to mention written in poetic style. There are no words to describe the glory of autumn. May this day find you well.

Another marvelous poem, Emile. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love autumn, but I know it portends wintertime, which seems to go on forever! Hope all's well with you, my friend.
