Endless Autumn
I definitely have Fall Fever, taking pictures of the trees and flowers where I live, walk, and go for R & R (Flat Rock Park nearby with a river for Alan to float his model boat.) So here’s a brief rhyme with photos to match. NOTE: One of the photos is of a fall flower, as intense in color as the autumn leaves, so I have included it as the first photo:
Sitting by the river, watching the leaves turn bold
I wish for endless Autumn, ’til trees shiver in the cold.
If I had my druthers, I’d want a forever Fall:
colorful leaves all year long. Oh! how it would enthrall!
The jewel-toned leaves create a spark, that warms me through my days.
I’d keep that spark all year long. Let me count the ways:
Colors bright
Autumn light
Chilly night
Heavenly–quite!
In love with Fall
I plan to stay
Enduring the Summer
’cause Autumn’s on its way!
P.S. I posted this quote before, but it seems perfect for this poem:
.…if I were a bird
I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns
— George Eliot
