Daver Austin Poet Free verse

Saying Goodbye To Summer

SAYING GOODBYE TO SUMMER

Come at close those tearful eyes
Hair now bathed in wind and rain
Reluctantly she breathes a sigh

Months too soon away have passed
Days and nights all warm and loving
Hard to say goodbye at last

But closer now the whistle sound
An eerie distant warning
For Autumn Falls express is bound

Dave Austin
