Welcome Autumn
The lovely smell of roses,
upon a Summer breeze!
Robins in the treetops,
singing happy melodies!
Precious purple, violets,
dandelions, in gold!
Queen Annes Lace on hilltops,
are treasures, to behold!
Spice Bush with its fragrance,
dogwoods bloom in white!
Bluebells in their sunny glow,
it's Summertime, all right!
However, Summertime is fading!
Autumn's on its way!
The sky's a greyer shade of blue,
soon we'll see a shorter day!
Trees will soon be changing,
to colors of the Fall!
Red and rust and yellow,
as they're standing, straight and tall!
Meadows, no longer green,
the grass will soon be brown.
But, Autumn will be beautiful,
as leaves fall to the ground!
Apple trees, in orchards,
with fruit both red and gold
will soon be, at roadside stands,
waiting, to be sold!
It's a fact, that Fall is on it's way,
right now, Summertime, is king!
But, vibrant colors, cooler nights,
means, Autumn"s in full swing!
summers end contest
