Say Goodbye To Summer

Say Goodbye to Summer
By Franklin Price

Say goodbye to Summer
Fall is in the air
The hottest days are gone
The temperature is fair

Animals preparing
For the winter soon to come
Gathering food for when the snow falls
Nature did not make them dumb

Cool breezes gently blowing
Changing leaves appear on trees
A myriad of autumn colors
Will soon be here for all to see

Halloween will roll around
Ghosts and goblins on our street
Coming 'round extorting candy
Yelling their favorite, “ trick or treat”

When the trees are foliage bare
New scenery we will view
Is that an old house that I see
Or is it one that's new

High upon the mountains
Looking down through the leafless limbs
Are valley views not summer seen
As the sunlight sooner dims

Won't be long until fall's over
And myself and lovely spouse
In retirement, weather winter
In the warmness of our house

Franklin Price September 22, 2016 at 3:02 PM Daniel, thanks for stopping by and for your nice comment. It's still getting to the middle 80's here but it's very nice at night and early morning.
