Summertime is growing weary. Welcome to the autumn rain. A new season taking over, Hydrating the earth again. Arid land with celebration, Greedily absorbs each drip And the dry and dusty flora, Raising eager mouths to sip. Running rivulets of water, Turning grasses back to green. It is showering time for nature; Every plant a new washed sheen. Summer's lingering in spasms. She must abdicate with grace. This is changing of the seasons. Fall is slipping into place. Autumn dressed in leaves of color, Gold and scarlet, every tone. Pre-pology for winter With a splendor all her own. Joyce 8/18/2000 |

Joyce: This is very nice! I can certainly see and feel fall around here. Some leaves have even started turning and some are falling. It's so dry though, it's scary! Betty Lou Hebert |

I liked the "pre-pology" line. Yes, it will soon be winter. Brr! But thankfully we still have a few warm days left, as it's barely Fall even here in Alaska. |

Thanks everyone for liking my poem. Midnitesun my face is red. I read that over several times and did not notice that typo. I meant to say pre-apology. Or did it work the other way, If so, I can't take credit. It was a typo. I think my keyboard needs cleaning. Joyce [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (edited 08-24-2001).] |

Beautifully written Joyce I'm always sad to see the fall season upon us ... mostly because I dislike winter. |

A wonderful tribute to Autumn, Joyce! Along with Spring, it's my favourite season of the year! It's been such a hot and humid summer here, that I am really looking forward to the crispness of the Autumn air and the kaleidoscope of leaves awash over the beautiful landscape~ See, what your poem did to me!   Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound...or a smiling mouth" ~Kahlil Gibran~ [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 09-10-2001).] |

Dear Melissa Honeybee. I was surprised to find this poem at the top of the list as I was posting, September Rewards. I would not have put it on right now as they are similar in their sentiments but thank you for reading both of them. Joyce |
