Autumnal Pleasures Poem by Phil Soar

Nights now much longer as Summer recedes
As light fades to grey and its time to retrieve
Where the wildlife sleeps longer, and gardens recoil
And the nutrients replenish the cold and wet soil

As Autumn begins and the leaves start to fall
It's a pleasure to witness the sight of it all
As green turns to colours that shatter the view
And fall to the ground in an autumnal hue

Though the spring has two seasons that stand in it's way
We can wait for the outcome and frolic and play
On a snow covered hillside, or thick leafy wood
We can pass time with nature, in the way that we should
