winds foreshadowing winter
blasting leaves from their branches
pelting them down like hail
hurling and swirling the
crisp curled colored cascades
in a mass migration
ahead of the bitter cold and snow

You spoke forcefully as you were heralding in old man winter. Nice visuals in this, Lori.

That wind carries a chill with it... and not just from the cold that's following it.  The unstoppable representation life's essence and vibrancy caught up in a period of storm, only to then settle into the grim but peaceful darkness burried beneath all that blissful white snow.

those first very colorful signs, giving way
to the grey stark winter nights, soothe and
haunt
sweet poem

fine writing ... very effective imagery of Autumn passing
into another dark and brooding Winter of discontent ...

Thank you my wonderful friends for your very diverse comments. I feel like this poem has touched a "season" button in you all and evoked a strong response...there is no higher praise.
