Contest: LISTEN to the wind. Sponsored by Constance La France.
"In fall, nature must rest for when they return in spring, to be at their best. " -quote by poet The trees hear whispers in the wind begin It's now time to surrender and let fall win Slumber is upon them as they start to let go To be strong and barren for blankets of snow Branches relax as their leaves start to turn Letting them fall knowing in spring they’ll return Hummingbirds hover as they frantically feed Fresh nectar for their migration trips a need The wind whispers warnings as the days get shorter When ready, he'll find his mate and will escort her Goldfinches appear in their olive drab feathers Working to secure their nests with twig tethers Squirrels and chipmunks are scurrying about Busy finding acorns as they sputter and spout They listen to the wind as it whistles and whirls And lifts fallen ground leaves in colorful swirls Flowers hold on to their last blooming breaths Before they all succumb to their fall deaths Nature always listens to the wind's fall requests
