What magic does appear
upon the branches of the trees
colors all aglow
with beautiful treasuries
The golden rod is blooming
as pretty as can be
it spreads a yellow blanket
for autunm's tapestry
The bright orange pumpkins
are waiting patiently
to be carved for Halloween
or a Thanksgiving pie maybe
A splash of this and that
in every nook and cran
a beautiful, painted picture
as only autumn can
The beauty of this one season
continues to grow and grow
it takes my breath away
with its magnificent show

ReplyDeleteYou've described fall so well! I think I like spring best; for some reason I feel sad in the fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've heard alot of people say that..
DeleteHi Susie, love the poem! It really captures the feeling of this time of year. My neighbor has a wooden wagon put set out in front of her drive, filled with pumpkins and autumn flowers. It looks so pretty and happy. We have been very busy the last week. I don't know if I mentioned it to you before but we have guests coming in again and my mother-in-law is getting an of her own apartment. We are all so happy and excited. She has been with us for 12 years now and has always wanted to have a little place of her own. They built a beautiful senior complex in the next town over. She is only 67 and is still very active. We have been doing a lot of shopping and packing. Some friends are going to come and move the furniture over the weekend. I hope you have a wonderful evening tonight! With Love, Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Delisa, I'm so excited for you and your mother in law. Hope the move goes smoothly.. I will be thinking of you all..Enjoy the beauty.
