Witness the color of leaves turned
The swelling chill and firewood burned
Signs of harvest-time are all these
Summer's forgotten, Fall's relearned.

Watch out for the season's first freeze
Spy graying skies above the trees
Sleepy Autumn, she yawned and yearned
Her winds caress with frigid breeze.

Blaring Sun, your features mellow
Blinding gold to burnished yellow
Weakened, yet still eager to please
Instead of Hark! -you say Hello.

As Autumn grows old, warmth we'll miss
While clouds pucker for frosty kiss
And the heavens will then bellow
Fulfillment of Winter's promise.
