Around us leaves begin to fall
Paying heed to winter's call
Shades of gold and red and green
Play their parts in nature's scene.
Another season draws to a close
Captured elegantly in poem or prose
And puts a smile upon our face
As each new season we embrace
Written for One Shot Wednesday
Love your response to the autumn colors and season.

I love this! We have had the longest fall I can remember. It's been awesome. Your poem captures that perfectly as for once the season isn't just a bookend but an actual season.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Linda. I like having the four seasons - they all have their special things, don't they?

I am enjoying your poetry almost as much as your short stories. This one I really liked. I think I mentioned that I read everything aloud. This one tripped off my tongue and was fun to read. Thanks for sharing your talents:~)
