Valsa George Poet Quatern

Transition

As summer grudgingly gives way
And autumn has crossed the doorway
Many changes are on their way
Though they are not for long to stay

Mild wind blows in whispering hum
As summer grudgingly gives way
Leaves will change into red and brown
In time they will fall one by one

Maple's a grand sight to relish
That eyes can never relinquish!
As summer grudgingly gives way
In beautiful dress, Earth arrives

Autumn tightens its strangling grip
Blizzards blow in mightier sweep
The trees are stripped off all their leaves
As summer grudgingly gives way

Christuraj Alex September 4, 2022 at 10:28 AM Transition is a word I have have loved in my life. There are so many reasons for this. Perhaps, I will tell you later. "grudgingly gives way"... You are an English professor and doctor. I am not able to write like you. Congratulations! Valsa George September 5, 2022 at 9:42 AM Chris,whenever I read your poems, I wish I could write like you. Please don't be under the impression that I have a doctorate. When I got into College as a lecturer, PHD was not mandatory. But now it is. Besides, poetry has nothing to do with one's academic qualifications. Thank you for your appreciation.
