Sun Aficionados

Summer’s over
fall gone past
the sun’s officially retired

gloom and doom
greyfulness
dreary days
the world is in decay

slowing down
finding time
for introspection

almost anxious
for a sprinkling
of the white stuff

till what joy again
when the sun
decides to bless us
with its gilded glow

:) The sun must be moonlighting because it's still warm here, Line. You captured the enthusiasm I have to see snow again. Truly, the change of seasons always brings something good our way. Best wishes, carolyn

Ah!! So that's where the sun is hanging out. No wonder we haven't seen it. Enjoy, Carolyn. When you're done, send it back our way.
