Fading Fall by Linda L. Dowd As asters fade in autumn’s frost, gold leaves come tumbling down. Winter soon will be upon us, cloaking all in snow-white gown. Flakes alight on sleeping soil, dusting sod with dreams anew. The hush of winter’s new arrival, softly bids the fall adieu. |

Beautifully stated, Earth Angel. Let us hope old man winter's harsh breath does indeed come to us softly. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

Fall is upon us too, Linda in the form of cold rain but in this case the sun will probably be shining again in a day or two. Of course in your neck of the woods I know that Winter means business. This is a lovely poem to usher it in. Stay warm. Love, Ida |

JerryPat, yes, indeed! But as we all know, especially we who live in northern climates, the wind can blow your mind ~ and your house down! Fortunately, ours is made of bricks and not straw! lol  EA |

JL ~ I enjoy all four seasons, all of which are significantly different in our neck of the woods. I'm a regular little snow bunny in the winter! Wheeee! Slipping and sliding; skating and gliding...  EA |

Michael ~ Yes, winter is on its way! It has so many moods! One moment it can wrap you softly in a blanket of snow and then it can abruptly turn around and freeze your 'wings' off! Linda |

My dear Ida Belle, cold rains can chill you to the bone even more than the fresh snows of winter. Sending a loving hug to warm you up. Linda  |
