Colorful Changes

Nature the quick change artist
Is dropping hints today
Of the beauty of her fall attire
And splendor on the way.

The fruit on the old apple tree
Is falling to the ground.
Fat grapes await with patience for
Jack Frost to come around.

Bright flowers in the garden
Ablaze with final showing,
While lower temperatures assure
That autumn will be glowing.

We say goodbye to summer
As fall comes creeping in.
We're grateful for the lull before
Cold winter shall begin.

beautiful poem...my original response, however, had been mistakenly sent to trillium. my thoughts from "color changes" and "passage of the hours" became intertwined.

Thanks Wooo. Having my work confused with Trilliums is high praise indeed. Love, Joyce

lovely piece Dear Joyce..Looking forward to fall here in Florida too. the heat & humidity have been searing this summer

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

I love this, Joyce! I love autumn and I love poems about autumn-especailly well-written ones, like you write, that paint its beauty.

Lovely, I really enjoyed reading this.

It flows perfectly.
