Vicissitudes of summer's flight,
Wings of geese at frost's first bite,
Pumpkins ripened on the vine,
As hunter's moon above does shine,
Fiery blaze of autumn's glory,
Portends Persophene's purgatory,
Cornucopias of fruited plain,
Bounties of Demeter's grain.
Verdant valleys, rising mist,
Sleeping flora by Helios kissed,
As zephyr warms a cooling land,
Last vestige of hot summer's hand,
I walk along a country lane,
Amidst the beauty gods ordain.

I simply love autumn musings! Very well done Mike!

(I think I finally accessed your site, I think...at work, don't know why I couldn't at home?! I'll try again tonight.))

Autumn is by far my favorite time of year. Thanks for the wonderful post

Another great one! You may want to consider quitting your day job and become a roving poet! No, on second thought, we need people like you doing the job you do. Thank you for always giving us something beautiful and rare to read....
