Farewell to Fall The fallen leaves lie thick and damp Beneath my footsteps as I tramp Through forest mostly bare and gray, To watch October slip away. There is a place I like to go Before it's buried under snow, To spend some time remembering The way it looked, away last spring And in the summer's heat it made A cooler haven. Pools of shade Enticed me here with book and chair To read in sweet seclusion there. Just like a princess in a bower, I lazed and dreamed an idle hour. But now it's time to say good-bye. The wind shakes seed pods and seeds fly To nestle in the woodsy floor, Awaiting time to grow once more And so, farewell to everything That lies asleep until it's spring! Betty Lou Hebert |

BettyLou~ Yep ... it goes so quickly~ But then it burrows into snow (at least for some) Personally, I can't wait for Spring to return to us all~ Could we just skip winter ????? I'm gonna hibernate~ *Hugs* ~*GrizzlyBear*~  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Joyce: I'd be very happy if we could extend fall into spring! But when there's snow falling outside, it's an impossible dream! Betty Lou Hebert |

Marge: If you can arange to skip winter, I'll be the first one to agree and sign your petition! Do you think Mother Nature will pay any attention to us? Not a chance! Betty Lou Hebert |

Suzanne: I was born and grew up in Canada, in Alberta. Winter there is serious business as I imagine it is in Ontario. I even used to enjoy it!! Betty Lou Hebert |

I like your format and the poem was very real. I love Fall...then Winter. Winter makes us welcome Spring all the more. Here in the South the Summer makes us really glad when Fall arrives. |

Rose Unicorn: Welcome to Passions! I hope you enjoy yourself here. Thanks for your comments on my poem. I live in Northern Idaho, so winters can be pretty fierce here some years. I hope this year is not one of them! Betty Lou Hebert |
