Sometime in September Sometime in September, I am suddenly aware There's a pleasant smell of woodsmoke Being carried on the air. Early in the morning, I can see a white mist rise And the flocking birds are leaving. As I watch them cross the skies, Finding it is autumn, Seems to catch me by surprise!

I concur with your poem completely! Today I was wearing a sweat shirt and jeans and for the first time all summer I felt cold. Autumn is my favourite time of year. Nature gets to paint herself. Fun!  |

Bonnie: Autumn does have it's own scent doesn't it. Of course I guess you could say the same about the other seasons too. Thanks, Betty Lou Hebert |

What a perfect description of fall, Betty...you have a magical way of capturing the essence of nature in your poems...Hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Betty, time flies and suddenly the beauty of summer is rapidly fading. I loved this and your wording of this event makes me almost look forward to Fall. Hugs, Marti Every now and then take a good look at something not made |

Miah: Thanks for commenting. We have so much smoke in the air lately, it's easy to think of fall. The farmers are burning their fields and we can smell it every day, although, fortunately, we do not live close enough to be impacted by the heavy smoke. Their is a blue haze hanging over everything though. Betty Lou Hebert |

Marti: Thanks for reading and I appreciate your response. Fall is always thrust upon us, even as the leaves are barely turning, as turkey hunting season opens mid-September and the farmers burn their fields. Betty Lou Hebert |

so much to ponder in so few words. masterful... the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Geoffrey: Fall is a meloncholy time for me as well, but if I concentrate on how beautiful the season is, I can usually talk myself out of it! Thanks for your comments. Betty Lou Hebert |
