Winter At My Window When autumn winds bring coolish air And colored leaves fly everywhere, There is a lonliness I find, To watch this season fall behind Relentless passage of the days, That bring swift changes, as I gaze. My window and the yard beyond, Reveal no birds upon the pond. The crickets now have ceased to sing. Most any day the cold will bring The first snow of the winter season, Giving me an urgent reason To don my boots and coat and hat And walk into the forest that Holds the secrets of the day. I watch the shadows as they play Deeper down the narrow trails, Until the daylight slowly fails And as I turn towards home, I see The last leaves fall, from every tree And in the morning, winter will Be sitting on my windowsill!

Dear Joyce: Thanks. It is a little sad for me to see autumn change to winter, although I didn't intend for that feeling to creep into this write! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Betty Lou A wonderful poem of yours about the transition from Autumn to Winter! However, I felt a hint of sadness there and that sadness washed over me! I really felt like crying! Love Verbena xo |

Loved this. No sadness crept into my heart. As I loved the walk in the forest and seeing the gentle flakes of snow making warm blankets to protect the growth until Spring arrives. best to you, martyjo |
