Fall is Nigh

Fall is Nigh

(A Sonnet)

 

Leaves crunching ‘neath me,

A kind wind blows

Away all my woes.

The sun gently greets.

Gingerly now the sun provides light

With lessened force.

Yet, how the earth, it adorns.

Fall is nigh.

 

With cooler days just ahead,

The outdoors is calling my name.

Indeed, the leaves are fallen to their beds

Of reds, yellows, and browns.

Birds chirping in delight,

Fall is coming back around.

Visually beautiful. The colours of autumn splendid, but autumn is not me. It makes me feel sad. Spring and summer are my seasons. Your poem though, is filled with positives and I know that fall is a favourite season for many. Lovely work Melinda.

I do long for those beautiful fall days so colorfully depicted here. In my part of the country, though, the long, hot summer has not quite let go.
