Nature in Transition

 

September saunters in with hints of fall in tow,
brief respite from late summer’s sultry heat.
Mild weather will stand down for summer’s last hurrah.
Then autumn’s unique glories we will greet.
Already we see red and amber in the trees,
and falling leaves are dancing in the breeze.

We are so dry here that mostly the leaves are turning brown and falling off dry and crunchie. I enjoyed reading this Fall write which it describes so well. Thanks for sharing it with us. Way to go. I noticed it is for a contest, and it reads like a good contender to me. Sara K
