Fall came to town one day
with a subtlty I almost missed.
But a yellow leaf sailed gaily by
on a breeze a bit more than chill.
And how long now until
Madam Web-Weaver searches carefully
for a space to make her winter home?
Already I've seen the wooly-worms
in black or brown or gold.
Soon the geese will fall into formation,
and shout farewells from a cornflower sky.
