Summer's Grief
An Autumn sunrise lights a maple tree
October’s hues are edged with olive green
The vibrant background cheers the season’s glee
The mountain ridges back the misty scene
Big bears are searching after mountain caves
While mallards fly before the snow begins
The ridges form astounding leafy waves
Where folks are cutting fully-grown pumpkins
The red hawk soars beyond the dew drenched morn
hence he denies to perch and lifts above
his flight creates designs the skies adorn
and dogs pursue raccoons around foxglove.
A lively squirrel scampers to and fro
Gray rabbits bounce amid the splendid leaves
And sparkling streams outrace the brownish doe
With the adieu of summer as she grieves.
