Summer Tease
When autumn clouds roll across like waves
darkening the sky, teasing with patches of bright white
The golden sunshine in the morning swiftly evaporates
Mid-morning is all grey and sullen
The apples begin to darken and rot on their branches
Too high and too late for anyone to retrieve
The sharp blood red tones of leaves appear on the ground
When did this change creep in?
Six in the evening is bleak as if in deep night
Slight summer cool breezes become chilly
Night-time demands warmer wear
A patch of blue sky and sun is a summer tease.
