The Hint of Autumn

The hint of autumn leaves in breeze
As northern states begin to chill,
When August morning frost in trees
Drapes canopies o’er sylvan hill.

As summer waltzes her last dance,
The hint of autumn leaves in breeze
Adds to the season her romance,
When dappled colors start to tease

As nature offers her first freeze.
Soon verdant leaves morph into gold.
The hint of autumn leaves in breeze
Foretells of changes to behold.

Bright autumn hues beyond compare,
As gold, ruby, and rust now please
When summer’s end began to share
The hint of autumn leaves in breeze.

This is a lyrical delight—like stepping into the hush of early autumn. Your refrain drifts through each stanza like a breeze itself, tying the changes in nature to something deeply felt and beautifully seen Connie!

Hi Connie, my heart is sorrowed at the sad news of your passing. You were always a special friend of mine and I always loved collaborating with you. You were a most special lady. There is that part of me that is glad to know that you will now be with Michael and your son. You shall make Heaven shine. Go unto thy paradise on wings of love and may the angels herald the coming of God's brightest star. Love and Hugs always ..... Michael. XXXXXXXXXX You bring Autumn to life.

Dear Connie, I will miss your beautiful poetry, and the kind words you always wrote that were a lift to my heart. I know you're with your loved ones again, and that makes the sorrow less heavy.

Connie, I was thinking about you today, God needed another angel I suppose, but why did he have to take you? So, many beautiful tribute poems have been written for you since your death, you were loved so much here on Poetrysoup. I will miss you every single day and thank you for leaving us your poetry to treasure, rest in peace, dear friend, Constance

my deepest condolences to Connie's family. Connie is the type of poet that as you read each line her voice becomes a thousand echoes within aligning in a neuro pathway assuring you have found another soul who walks with you. and this poem is volumes in that....
