Autumn's Meaning Poem by Barry Middleton

Autumn's Meaning

Rating: 5.0


The change is felt within, the breath is cooler.
A slightly drier breeze stirs the golden raintree.
Beyond my tropic home, the maples are ablaze.
Already northern frost brings the palm warbler.
But here in Florida, autumn is a state of mind.
The holidays are coming, the rituals of harvest.
An end to one more year has just begun.
The sunset on the gulf speaks softly and clearly.

A lovely depiction of autumn. Yes, autumn is a state of mind too. With falling leaves, hearts also sink a bit. Loved it.10

Thanks Nosheen. Autumn is very subtle in Florida but it still brings a sinking heart.
