A cold front comes
The killing frost has arrived
Flowers lose their heads

Oh, poor darling flowers for losing their heads in both senses of the term!

Excellent poem, Lori!

Brrr feeling the chill over here as well
So far my outdoor potted plants hanging on their hooks, I'm waiting for them to keel over in unison its always a sad site when they do that, but last year it was earlier.

Emma,
Sad sight indeed, my porch has been bedraggled by the cold already but this will be the final straw. The wind is awful!!

Redstart,
Thanks for the reminder on that! I knew that but had let that slide focusing on the syllable count. (and just plain using the format to be silly)
