Farewell To Summer

FAREWELL TO SUMMER

Leaves swirl in the air

dancing ballerinas...

bidding farewell to Summer

Cool air pushes forth

arriving from the North...

a welcome stranger...

a nice reprieve

from a long, hot summer

of sizzling temperatures

and high humidity

The final chapter of a steamy novel

as pages turn...

anticipating the ending

excitement rises...

the finale nears

an unexpected pang of remorse

creeps in

beginnings end and endings begin

a season ends

as a new time begins

	Mary - I love the work here, It is a wonderful way to picture the arrival of Autumn asnd it attendant changes. I enjoy the way you liken the seasons as though they were literary works: Summer as a "steamy novel', Interesting simile. Nice Work. ---Poetrydad--- Respond To This Comment
