Poets Express Winter


Poetry by

AUTUMN DAYS

 

The Autumn Days are coming when the warm

Summer breezes begin to wane, and the crispness

In the air makes the step in your walk more brisk.

 

The Autumn Days are coming when the Halloween

Costumes and candy appear in the stores, and the

Trees lining the neighborhood are not quite

As green as a month before.

 

The Autumn Days are coming when that extra blanket

Is added to your bed at night, and

There is that chill in the house the next morning

Upon waking up.

I look forward to those Autumn Days.
