Indian Summer

Here's an Indian Summer day
As a mixture of seasons play
Warm sunshine, no need for a coat
Colored leaves still dangle and float
Patches of green grass and flowers,
Aren't waiting for snow showers
Reflections of Summer and Fall
Wrap around the pine trees, so tall
Now, underneath the skies so bright,
November brings us a warm night

I sorta wish Indian Summer could be added as a fifth season.

Nothing better than good old Indian Summer, esp. when it lasts for a several days or even more. :) gw

I love this delightful autumn poem, Heidi. An Indian Summer brings us a respite, and a few extra days of sunshine and warmth. Let's take advantage of it! ~Regards // paul
