A New Season


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

  6. 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.

  11. 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:~)
