Notes About The Poem

Indian Summer

In a world
Of blues and greys
Streaked in swirls
Of sunlit shadows
Hints of gold
Tinge a brisk morning air

The cool stillness ruffled
Of a glassy lake
Not a sound it makes to wake
A sleepy drowsy nature
Gearing up to hibernate

All good things come to an end
Indian summer says her goodbyes
In her most colorful flamboyant style

The imagery brought forth in this missive made me smile, and warmed me up in many ways.
