The crisp of autumn’s promise
Sworn on the midnight wind
Summer’s swelter’s come to an end
Long sleeve sweater’s warming bliss
From the season’s changeling chills
Too early for turning tree’s splendor
Budding chrysanthemums still green and tender
Across valley and hills
Patch worked cut hay sachets
Scent lowland rising mists
Recalling hot cocoa and ciders missed
During summer’s long hot days

Morning now breaks
like a Jonathon just picked
and bitten with snap of color
letting the sweet sap of afternoons
run upon the chin
of September

ah... just a few words inspired by your own fine offering ma'am...
crisp and autumn can hardly be used without remembering the orchards of Missouri and how the sweet/sour of a freshly pisked apple was the taste of fall and of changing season...

I find myself smelling the conifer scent on the mist & waiting for the trees to blaze, although where I live they're starting to already...beautifully described.

Wow, you're an impressionist. You've captured the scene with your own delicate touch. Truly a Monet of words.
