Autumn And Jack Poem by Connetta Jean

I've heard in the winds
whispers that Autumn,
is leaving us soon..
I found her leaves
laying gracefully
across the country road.
Like making a dare
For me to cross the line
and disturb them.
Jack frost has been,
courting her nightly now.
Bringing her beautiful diamonds
on early morning trays
of trailing light.
They dance benieth sunsets
and slow moving fog..
His icy hands touch
places that summer
has yet to let go..
Jack loves her you know...
But i've been watching
(Each day she is fading.)
her colors seem to be
losing their bright
youthful attire..
Autumns last days
are here.
She's saying
goodbye...
