Come September, the trees shed
Rich and brilliant leaves
Golden is the barley and the corn is sweet
In red and verdant woods the children run
On sun-kissed feet

Through rippling fields of yellow and gold
The brimming river goes
And far away on distant hills
The purple heather flows

In drowsy still the village sleeps
Mellow and apple-gay
Spring's bright buds, the summer flowers
All have seen their day

But autumn's dazzling hours catch
My eye and play their part
For in the calm September days
Peace holds my heart

Surely, you must be a Scottish Angel with her Highland wings flowing your verse of magical spell stanzas blessed with tranquility.

You know, Fall is one of my favorite seasons to write about here on Pip! ~ It is just so beautiful and refreshing poetry and thank you for bringing Autumn back to life before it comes back. I don't want to rush the summer, but I sure can't wait for the two next seasons to come!

Beautiful work,

martiniat8, I find that when we near autumn, a sort of mellow calm on my mind, and for me it's good, because it stresses me down in autumn, which is the busiest period of my job.  Thank you !

Thank you Ida, autumn is a wonderful time, but it can be dark and dismal too, but all of those clear blue days and golden colours make up for it.
