Shades Of Autumn Poem by Linda Ori
Shades Of Autumn
I felt it in the air today
Summertime's demise,
The crispness of the morning air
Caught me by surprise;
I should have known the time was near
I've felt it coming on,
The urge to rearrange the house
Has lately been so strong;
I need to have the carpets cleaned
And paint the children's room,
Hang some cheerful curtains up
To chase away the gloom;
For winter can't be far away
As falling leaves predict
That soon the branches will be bare
And all the flowers picked;
When the air is clear and vibrant
And the dogs bark far away,
I know it won't be long before
Autumn's here to stay.
Linda, I agree with Jim a bit, ... this has been done a lot though! That is not to say that you did not do it well! If I may say... Autumn does the same to me ! The season always makes me happy with it's colors, and in a way it makes me sad too! At least until the world outside looks like a great big birthday cake, all frosted! B.V.A.
I'm amazed there are no comments here Linda. This is lovely. A genty evocative foretelling of autumn's arrival. Highly scenic language and just the right amount of detail all within a very structured evenly tempo'd form. Superb and very apt writing xx jim
