Edge of Autumn Rush of wind and song of water. Breath of autumn on my cheek. Cloud banks building o'er the hilltops. Quacking ducks drift down the creek. Singing leaves and shifting shadows. Cooling nights and hazy days. Stealing all my dreams of summer. Forcing me to change my ways. No more lazy hammock swinging Back and forth beneath the trees. Half asleep and barely hearing Yellow warblers, busy bees. Swoop of swallows, scream of blue jays. Squirrels cutting cones from pines. Quiet dawns and flaming sunsets. Air that smells like mellow wines. Hoot of owl and cry of coyote. Stars that shine with prismed light. Winter's coming, chirps the cricket. Creeping closer, every night! Betty Lou Hebert |

the "edge of autumn"...you describe it well...my favorite time of the year! the air is so crisp at nite. it is easy and such a pleasure to breathe. i love to smell the smoke of burning oak logs. the year is passing quickly. it will be winter before we know it!...if only the jays were not (blue) and i could hear the "whispering" pines!...i'm somewhat color blind and tad deaf. |

BettyLou~ Standing on the 'Edge of Autumn' with you is such a fresh poetic outlook~ I love this, dear lady ... but then ... I'm kind of addicted to your perfected poetry~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ HELLO to MY RONNIE  ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
