Summer Rests, Autumn's Best, Soon Winter's Test

I love Autumn...

The wind batters from the North to fight the


Gulf Stream’s flow


Turning summer’s promise


To another season of ice and snow


I pull on my ragged sweater


The one my mother made you see


A fishermen’s knit pattern


A little worst for wear


She made it years ago for me


The leaves form mini cyclones


The colors blind my eyes


Like the artist paints his pictures


Or grandfather tied his flies


I take a walk along the forest


The last of the berries fading shades


Blueberries shriveled acorns on the ground


Squirrels are stocking up their stash


They know that fall won’t be long around


Still I love the sights and smells it offers


Love the briskness and the added chill


As I feel I am in my own autumn years


It is my time to enjoy the world as well

To me Autumn is the most beautiful season of the year. It is when mother nature sends her artists out to make the world a beautiful vision for us all. A time when nature is preparing to rest and get ready for the new birth. I don't think that I would consider your age the Autumn of your years, just the beginning of the time that you have finished raising your family and can sit back and enjoy life and your grand babies. Very good write, enjoyed it. Karen

Spring and Fall are two favorite months. One brings in new life and the other packs it away for the winter. I have seen many autumns and don't expect to see too many more so I'll enjoy what the Lord gives me. Great write; a scene I have seen and enjoy.

Felix, yes this is a great captured scenic vision!
I have lived in in New York ,..forty one years and I am still
surprised by the subtle change that then jumps on us!
I love this!
peace and real joy to you',

Autumn and spring are the two seasons I miss from up north. Thanks for painting the memories for me in your words. ~ Sara

Autumn seems to arrive with so much wisdom and beauty. As we watch the changes we marvel at nature's hand and God's perfect plan. The colorful leaves fall and blow; they magically pile where they are needed and become a warm blanket, beneath the snow, to protect the seeds that promise rebirth in the spring. By the time we reach Autumn, we have come to understand how perfectly everything fits together. Beautiful poem, Felix. Autumn is my favorite season also.
Take care,
Sherry
