Landscape Laced With Snow

Summer wearily sighed then softly closed her door.
For three months she lingered, and now she'd slumber
while Fall lays a carpet of leaves upon the forest floor.
Her swirling wind gathers them in abundant number,
bronze, russet and crimson, all fringed in burnt umber.

In a cloudless sky, the cry of migrating birds is heard,
flying to a warmer climate as Autumn begins to unfold.
When Nature births a new season, changes are spurred.
A saffron sun warms the Earth with fingers of gold,
and a harvest moon ascends; glorious sights to behold.

Autumn days are emblazoned with dazzling coloration,
painting vibrant scenes like no other season can bestow.
I welcome her annual arrival with joyous acclamation,
knowing the nights will be filled with starlight aglow
before Winter laces the landscape with crystals of snow.

Duke Beaufort September 17, 2023 at 9:39 AM It's all very insightful. You are a master poet!! There are all kinds of changes afoot that mark the seasonal change. In the Northeast US, I notice that the vertical clouds we usually see in the summer have given way in a sudden fashion to flat ones. To me, that has always marked the summer to fall transition along with the shortening of days and lower humidity. Lin Lane September 17, 2023 at 9:47 AM aww Duke. How interesting that you notice the change in the shapes of clouds has a bearing on the transition of the seasons. I've never lived in the Northeast. Perhaps that's why I've never noticed your detection. Thanks so much for your comments, today.
