Emile Pinet Poet Quatern

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.
