Notes About The Poem
Not for contest

The Whispers of Autumn NFC

The whispers of autumn may speak about 
        the leaves' changing colors,
Or the dying 
          of the summer flowers.

The whispers of autumn may speak about
          the warmth of family gatherings, 
And the simplicity 
          of childish imaginings~

But whispers of autumn speak to me about
          the winter's fast approaching,
And the death spectre's 
          unmerciful encroaching.

That's a beautiful picture. At least winter means spring is coming.
