Emile Pinet Poet Rubaiyat

Winter's On Her Way

Autumn leaves begin to mold;
as songbirds flee from the cold.
For Winter is on Her way;
clad in white, and feeling bold.

As night starts to eclipse day,
children go inside to play.
And when winter snows are nigh,
geese no longer wish to stay.

Fledgling birds must learn to fly,
before snowflakes dust the sky.
And thus escape Winter's freeze,
flying south as the leaves die.

Cold winds scatter fallen leaves;
strewn around the barren trees.
And rustic browns edged in gold
thrash about with each brisk breeze.
