It seems we said hello, just yesterday Do you recall the night you came to town? You blew in silently, I hoped you'd stay Time really flies when old friends come around When you leave here, I guess you'll be southbound I love the pretty blanket left for me Those yellows mix so well with red and brown It will make such a treasured memory Yet when you've gone, how diff'rent things will be So cold and bare, your warmth will disappear It happens ev'ry year so let's agree We'll plan a longer visit for next year Sweet autumn it is time to say goodbye I wish you'd come next year about July by Daniel Turner Spenserian sonnet rhyme scheme ABAB BCBC CDCD EE

Wonderful way to write about Autumn. Let’s have it all in July. Christmas, Fall and them we can push spring forward to December. Winter won’t get a look-in. SuZ

Beautiful, Danny. I just love Autumn and I really miss it too since we don't really have Autumn here in Louisiana. Lovely poem.

Just as in your picture, today my feet padded on a beautiful blanket of brown leaves. So sad to see them go from the trees. Lovely sonnet Daniel.

Hi Daniel: Speaking as a guy who lives in Florida, I can feel the gust of Autumn in your poetry. Great sonnet!

Such a beautiful sonnet to describe the departure of autumn, Daniel. Loved the "pretty blanket" of leaves of yellow and brown lines! Very lovely, 7!

Thanks Mike. The idea was a poetry challenge and the sonnet was very challenging. Not a common form. I am glad you like it. It took me a while to write and I'm still looking at it like I need to change something.

Thank you, nette. I'm not really ready either. I appreciate the cooler weather but hate to see the harshness of winter. Thanks for dropping by to share a smile:)
