Whispers of Autumn Fall

They say it's in the wind
 restless teases and taunts that seasons are in flux
 an escape out of the summer's endless rush,

hush now, if you listen close
 you might hear the trees as they host
 a last farewell to the flow of this year;

it's a catchy phrase, barely audible
 in the blend of fall color palettes applaudable
 yellows, oranges, crimson reds as leaves have fled,

they hurry now, rushing into the harvests of October gusts
 nature has her schedule as each season must
 as spring's summer closes the account trust;

see the skies, the blues on grays
 as life proceeds on, fall begins to slip away.

Dear DM, I applaud your rhyme pair “audible/applaudable” and adore your animated imagery “yellow, oranges, crimson reds as leaves have fled,/they hurry now, rushing into the harvest of October gusts”, -wow! A bit of internal rhyme is a nice touch too! Your sonnet is beautiful. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
