Sweet fall,
you turn overbearing heat
into winter's call
such an amazing feat
showing such power
you change the hues
by the hour
you bring sad news
of cold and dark
days coming near
yet winter's bark
doesn't sound when you're here
gorgeous season
why can't you stay?
I abandon all reason
when you've gone away
the grass remains green
but the leaves bloom
in colors, such a scene
it distracts from the gloom
I love this chill
the wind whipping past
fall's such a thrill
why can't this season last?
beauty's fading quick
goodbye wondrous fall
in one clock's tick
barren trees so tall
winter's here for now
then comes summer and spring
autumn gives it's final bow
and flies south on huge wings.
