Tom Cunningham Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Welcome Autumn Goodbye Summer

The summer season is fading away
Air now cooler and easier to breath
Sun retires early a much shorter day
Autumn is coming and gathering speed

Summers foliage is now changing colour
Multi shades of red with orange and gold
Nature on landscape paints us a picture
A masterpiece that’s a joy to behold

Farmers are busy from morning till night
Gathering their crops ripened in the sun
A harvest moon rising providing light
They work at their task until it is done

Summer warm days are now a memory
But autumn beauty is awesome to see.
