Winter Skies
Nature appeared to take her time,
summer stretching into September October days,
the warm filled the landscape with colors bled
shades of lemon yellows, pale green limes ahead
a mix of russet orange and cranberry reds;
every breath a distant pleasure
recalling hot sunny summer treasures
bowing slowly in transitional escapades
to a hint of November slipped parades
drawn memories of Thanksgiving masquerades;
stuffings, turkeys, hams
sweet mashed potatoed yams
waiting for the moment to gather family and friends
while the sky clouds play behind the darker grays again
and winter skies slowly snow us in.
