Whispering Adieu

For the time has come for Summer to fade, 
          warmth whispers adieu as crimson ascends-
Blades begin to fall in a serenade,
          and all the beauty of Autumn transcends.

          Corn maize at Queens County Farm Museum,
sipping warm apple cider by the fire-
          Embers ignite aglow finding freedom, 
and all us family begins to tire. 

Caramel apples with pumpkin picking-
          Stacks of hay surround a house that’s haunted, 
for Halloween is time for fun tricking.
          The neighbors decorated and flaunted!

          The loveliness of Autumn has spoken…
          whispers adieu when Winter’s awoken.

A delight my finding this exquisite sonnet you have gifted us my friend. I love sonnets and this one is a true beauty, a finely crafted and exceptional piece! Depth, imagery, rhyming and flow all perfectly on the mark. Good luck in the contest, as this must surely be a podium finishing piece. A fav-- a truly great sonnet!

This is beautiful Luloo. We have a corn maze down here but it just doesn't feel the same when it is 90 degrees outside. : ) No sitting around the fire here.
