Autumn
"Autumn" A gust rushed through languid leaves Unleashing them from captor trees. Trading longer days for hastened nights Umber leaves skim the earth in sinking sunlight. Measured changes gradually increase, Now appear spicy scents, cooler air, sticky sweets, Apparel of sweaters and scarves in a sudden gush. Ubiquitously the environs announce, awash with telltale proof This advent perfected, no longer aloof. Under steely skies and cold biting air, where unbound leaves rattle and rasp Muted shadows lengthen their darkening grasp. Nothing remains untouched, the world tinted with autumn sun’s setting blush.
