Autumn Winds


Buttoning our sweaters and wearing long sleeves
Crisp air greets us as we walk on by.
Treetops are filled with brightly painted leaves,
Splashing colors across a vibrant autumn sky.

Winds blowing, swirling all around
Dancing through branches to say,
“It’s time for seeds to scatter to the ground
It’s time for autumn winds to play!”

Weeping Willows are now found swaying
In the park nearby, quite unaware of our stare...
At the many children just laughing and playing
All the day long, without any care.

Birds glide together among brisk winds at sea,
Ducks nestle together at sunset on the lake.
Delightful visions and memories for me,
Autumn scents captured in each breath I take.

Cool air surrounds us wherever we go,
The thought of hot chocolate begins.
Fireplaces are lit; keeping warm by their glow
Thankful for the magic of Autumn winds.

Very nice Julie!

Very good poem, excellent visuals, Julie! Although I'm not quite ready to face Autumn yet! It does mean the boys will be back in school, which will be a blessing - I've almost forgotten what quiet days are like by now I think!

We have a TV commercial here where a woman is walking down the street and just starts shrieking - the camera pans down to the sidewalk, and there's an autumn leaf on the ground. That's just about exactly how I feel when the leaves start to change. Another month or so and my hedges will be bare again, and winter will be just around the corner. One of these years I'll be flocking south when it gets cold, but not quite yet!

Love and Big Hugs,

Alice

Hi Alice

I am tired of the heat and I am ready to enjoy the Fall weather that is happening in my area. All it took was a few leaves to scatter on my lawn and a touch of color change to bring about ~Autumn Winds.

My son also reminded me of the nice times with the fireplace at night with my husband playing guitar and the kids enjoying some cocoa.

The "little things in life" are the grandest of all.


Love and ((Hugs)) to you ,


Julie
