The seasons begin to change As we enter a colder range Temperatures start to fall Winds turn into a squall The trees slowly turn Their leaves will burn From a deep green To the brightest orange I've seen Some will become red Or a fiery yellow instead Before they all get blown To distant places unknown They'll be replaced in the spring As the birds return to sing A beautiful new melodic song That will last all season long Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 10-08-2000).] |

Thank you to you all for reading and replying. I just write them as I see them. I love the fall and thought a poem would be an excellent way to share the beauty of it with you. Thanks again!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
