Weathering The Beautiful Months
As Submitted To The Sound Of The First Frost Challenge
Filled with sunlight
Fresh and bright
Emotions love, very tight
Glowing into the night
Until summer departs
Cooling trend starts
When
Illumination ends
Autumn falls back
Surrendering an hour, during one weekend attack
Leaves dying in the air
Hitting ground, never scared
Only to be raked, bagged,
And tagged
By hefty boy
Sensing crisp joy
Lawn now clean,
Seeing green
Under his feet
Garden grass, glistening and neat
Due to spending weekend afternoon
Were soon
Early it gets dark
Hearing herald angels sing, 'hark’
Welcoming wintry cold
Francs and gold
Celebrating holiday concept getting sold
Making snowbound scenes
Interpreted as romantic loving dream
Slip and slide
Goes the carriage ride
Hoofing to a caroling beat
Enjoying marking a year complete
Counting days before heat
Returns
And burns
Those sleeping on the sand
Not wrapped in swaddling clothes
Letting go
Nature’s lovely tricks
Open carefully they can be wonderful gifts
