Whistle A Tune

The sunlight doesn't seem as bright as before, while Autumn's warmth is fast fading away. And ominous grey clouds bring rains that pour: sending kids scurrying inside to play. Fall's exquisite colored leaves fall from sight, till no trace remains; their beauty is brief. And day relinquishes its length to Night, as trees stand naked, not a single leaf. The honking geese are all migrating south, along with most of our precious songbirds. And, daunting rumors, spread by word of mouth, whisper, winter's near, in so many words. While wailing winds start to whistle a tune that warn winter flurries are coming soon.

This is truly a great sonnet! I love sonnets and this one is tops in my book. "All the geese have begun migrating south along with most of our precious song birds. And lately...I've been told by word of mouth the same thing's happening to reindeer herds." I especially love these verses and reference to Nature's majesty my friend! A fav and a pleasure to read..

Winter's tune can be harsh, Emile. I was captivated by your first two lines and that second stanza is especially vivid in imagery and powerful in emotion. Superior writing throughout, my friend. Thanks for visiting my page. Hugs, Carolyn
