Autumn And Beyond! Poem by Denis Martindale

AUTUMN AND BEYOND!


Let Autumn come, for duty calls!
Let Summer bid farewell,
Replaced by woodland miracles
That cast their new leaf spell...
Green leaves transform to gold and brown,
As chills hang in the air,
When temperatures must dwindle down
And folks ask, 'Is this fair? '
Then gloves and scarves are worn again,
With thermals just in case,
Yes, even for the bravest men,
Some comfort to embrace...
And soon the shorter daylight nears,
Less sunshine to provide,
Far lesser joys, far lesser cheers
And hopes start to subside...
Yet carry on till Christmastime,
Let Autumn come and go...
While cold, there's something quite sublime
About that thing called... SNOW!
