Transitions

Summer’s 
ending;

autumn’s 
pending.

Nature   	
teases,			

sending	
breezes 

cool and	
pleasing

but so
fleeting.

Temps rise  	 
greeting

summer 
lovers.

Autumn 
hovers.

Soon warm
covers

will be 
needed.

Those who
pleaded

for fall’s 
coming

will be
humming.

Very fun Janice. I have to admit I have a heck of a time letting go of summer and love indian summers with the warm and mellow afternoons. However, once autumn fully arrives I revel in the bounty and beauty of the season. Congratulations on your win! Blessings.

Oh, I looove this. I see beautiful pictures as I read each group of lines. I love the changing of the seasons, I gather you as well. As much as I am not fond of snow after a while, it is always nice to have it at Christmas, don't you think? My favorite season...well, " I will be humming" I'm smiling after enjoying Transitions.

Marikate, thanks for these encouraging words! In Mississippi, we don't get much snow, so we enjoy it--till it starts looking nasty! LOL! Janice
