At last, autumn
It's initial attempts
Repressed by stubborn summer
Announces it's arrival
Not with thunderous fanfare
Or even a loud knock
But instead a familiar breeze
Harvest moon, new weather
Majestic colored leaves surrender
Lazy hammock invites slumber
Ere I drift away in dreams
My newly contented heart
Whispers with much relief
At last, autumn

Lovely...I love how autumn always tiptoes in with sweet subtlety. You expressed that so well!
ReplyDeleteYou are a poet, dear Bone.
ReplyDeleteSherri - Thanks. It was definitely tiptoeing around here this weekend.
ReplyDeleteCooper - I'm sure the masses might disagree, but thank you, dear Cooper.
