Autumn begging to be appreciated
Did well as a transition from warm to cold
To accord succulent fruits to be harvested
With perhaps a whole turkey into the fold
Chill of winter waving, blue of sky greyish
Many resigned to less hectic of activities
Halloween invented to liven up as a wish
Perceived melancholy seemed unhealthy
Holidays ended back to school for young ones
Lively sporting season built up to a crescendo
Major league games wrapped up within the months
To be mentally prepared for 'hibernation' woes

Yes, some people don't like autumn because it means that winter is on its way, so maybe that's why it makes such a great effort!
ReplyDeleteI love autumn....especially as a prelude to hibernating. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteAutumn sure doesn't get appreciated sometimes. But when winter comes, it sure does.
ReplyDeleteEvery season has it's lovely moments and Autumn is no exception.....well that's my opinion Hank.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully expressed. Well done.
Yvonne.
That is autumn all right. Although no woes here.
ReplyDeleteI liked the idea that Halloween was invented to liven up things.
ReplyDeleteGood description.
ReplyDeleteIt's a transition indeed.
I am savoring it as long as I can Hank!
