Seasonal Transitions

Proud daffodils have bowed their weary heads And roses shed their petals one by one, Green leaves transform to gold and fiery reds The gilded reign of autumn has begun. Farewell to fragrant bluebell woods of spring And summer’s lush and verdant meadow grass, In vain, tenacious leaves to branches cling: The changing scenes of life must come to pass. As nights draw in, the silver harvest moon Shines boldly through defenceless, naked trees And pirouetting leaves will settle soon, For winter’s riding on the autumn breeze. The reaper’s joyful song in golden fields Begins to fade as Fall to winter yields. 26.10.19 New Fall Sonnets Poetry Contest : sponsored by Emile Pinet N-A Rerun 4 Poetry Contest :sponsored by John Hamilton
