Hints of Autumn are so subtle:
like ripe crops awaiting harvest.
And nights darkening earlier,
after the dog days of August.

Fall seems to arrive overnight:
hints of Autumn are so subtle,
Like pumpkins turning bright orange
under leaves of emerald green.

And trees that start changing colors;
even though October's far off.
Hints of Autumn are so subtle:
like the kids heading back to school.

And other subliminal signs;
like honking geese migrating south.
Although Fall's extraordinary,
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.
