Welcome Autumn

Welcome autumn with your beautiful colors and cool breezes ... How I love you ! And all those swirling and drifting burnt orange red, and gold leaves tumbling down . . . some tattered and torn some perfect and deep veined. Time to lay down your golden gowns, dear trees ! And I, must begin gathering a collection to press within pages of my many old books. Oh delight, to open a book on a cold winter day and have a beautiful leaf fall out . . . ____________________________ September 18, 2017 Poetry/Free Verse/Welcome Autumn Copyright Protected, ID 17-9497-18-0 All Rights Reserved.
