Sunny South

Parkas mark the change
heat coming out the vents
helping keep the warmth of
the summer indoors.
Beautiful sunny skies greet
the long pants and long-
sleeved shirts for those who
venture out form behind
closed doors with closed
blinds.  Warm cocoa, hot
coffee, steaming tea fog the
air at the picnic table. The
gents have met for a game
of checkers at the park,
the slight breeze keeping
their collars up.  Fall has 
arrived in Florida, no change
of color, no threat of snow,
only the change of dress to
acknowledge the temp going
below 70 in the Sunny South.
