September Falls

So gradual, the change that comes about Enhanced by wind chimes seemingly, non-stop. Pink painted sunsets draw cool evenings out 'til golden moons melt down from mountaintops. Each passing day green slowly disappears Migrating geese become a common sight Browns, reds and yellows magically appear Emerging out of nowhere overnight. Reluctantly, we pack our summer dreams. Football becomes the topic of the day. As falling leaves begin to cover streams Long sleeves and sweats will be wardrobe mainstays. Long days grow shorter much to our chagrin September falls and autumn comes again. 9/8/2024 Daniel Turner

Daniel, your seasonal Sonnet/Acrostic lines so vividly create the wonder of the changing seasons! For me, they also conjured very sweet memories of my life in the cold climates! No wonder a winner!! Happy Thursday!

It's sure nice that you got a bonus point for excellence in sonnet form. That put you right up there with the other first placements. I am glad that you are one here who can really write a sonnet. Congrats on your well deserved win.

You've written an excellent descriptive Sonnet, Danny. I love everything about Fall except that it's still hurricane season.

A treat to read this...packed with gorgeous imagery my friend. Though here, down under, it is now spring, you have perfectly captured the feeling of autumn as I remembered it now months past. Take care..
