Welcome Back


                                                  Welcome back beautiful fall
                                                  so nice to see you again
                                                  with all your splendid glory
                                                  you are my best season friend

                                                 I love your beautiful dress
                                                 it covers everything in sight
                                                 spread out across the land
                                                 so elegant, colorful and bright


                                               And that lovely hat you wear
                                               of clear, blue skies each day
                                               a mix of cool, crisp nights
                                               are a welcome season display

                                               Those shoes are such a delight
                                               you place upon the ground
                                               the squirrels love them dearly
                                               frolicking in yellow, orange and brown



                                          Even the birds changed their tune
                                          and whistle now even more
                                          your fancy clad attire
                                          they simply love and adore

                                         Welcome back beautiful fall
                                         with your picture perfect glow
                                         you sure know how to dress up
                                         in a magnificent, landscape show

                                        Susie Swanson

  1. You've captured the glory of fall; God among us. Colors are so very beautiful at this time of year. I'm afraid, since it's been so dry, the colors won't be as vivid here this year.

  5. Hi Susie! What a lovely poem! I so enjoyed it, especially the line about fall being your best friend of all the seasons. I feel that way too! It is my most favorite time of year. Something just comes alive in my heart as soon as I feel that first cool morning of autumn. Autumn always feels like a fresh start. I love the shorter days, especially when the time changes. I love cooking and eating dinner when it is dark outside, watching the heat of my cooking pots steam up the windows. The days seem more restful, like the dark gives you permission to stop working and sit down and knit awhile. :) I hope you have a lovely evening ahead! Delisa :)

  6. Oh thank you Delisa, you make it sound so much more inviting. I can't wait for the early darkness and starting my quilts. With the time change it will be a long time to knit or quilt.. Susie

  11. Your poetry is just beautiful and you are so talented. I enjoyed reading it very much. I have a friend in the United Kingdom that thought her poetry was not good and is now in the process of publishing her second book. You might like to check out her blog. Here is the link: http://welcometomyworldofpoetry.blogspot.com/

    Thank you for inviting me over. I will be back.

    Thank you for stopping by.
    It has been crazy and it appears it will be this way for about the next four months. Not sure what or how this is all going to work. Need lots of prayers and strength for the days and weeks ahead.

  14. Hi Susie! I hope you are having a nice afternoon, I just thought I would pop by and say hello. It looks like we are going to have a big storm blow through our neck of the woods in a couple of hours. The sky is every shade of gray, and our neighbor put her horses in the corral. I never have to even look at the weather report anymore, I know if I see her putting the horses away it is going to storm big! I'm having kind of a slow moving morning today and I just got done eating my breakfast for lunch! Barkley is also being lazy and is lying on his blanket next to my chair with his little stuffed lamb. I hope you have a lovely afternoon ahead! Delisa :)

  15. @ Bethe, thank you for the nice words. You hang in there and I will praying for you.

    @ Delisa, so good to hear from you. Hope that storm wasn't to bad. Storms make me nervous, I've been like that all of my life and can't help it. I bet they are worse in your part of the country. Hope you're feeling better and I 'll keep you in my prayers also. Hug Barkley for me for taking care of you.. Blessings to you both,Susie
