~~ Introduction to Autumn

***********************

*********

summer, that warm, sweet girl

who seduced us and stole our heart

with playful joy and laughter at start

is now fading, gone in a  whirl

clouds and rain now hide her sun

a chill in the air – Autumn’s begun

autumn rain beats upon the windowpane

steel gray clouds scud across the sky

puddles like tiny lakes form in the lane

summer has quietly retreated, fall chill is nigh

leaves change color, then fall and fly

the warm days gone in a sigh…

*****************************

GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY !
