Fall Is In The Air

Fall Is In The Air

A Poem by Don Shaw

I love the Fall

        Fall Is In The Air

                    Fall is in the air.
                    Not only is this temperature cooling off,
                    but was evident in the amount of voices one hears outside.
                    Voices that were once quieted by the hot Texas sun.
                    From my back yard i can hear kids at play.
                    Sounds of rakes in yards and the songs of migrating birds,
                    on a southward journey .
                    Feels nice to go outside and breath,
                    without the danger of sauteing my lungs.
                    Yes fall is in the air.
                    Such a grateful time of year.
                    Windows go up and air conditioners go off.
                    One can actually walk barefoot on the side walk.
                    No longer are the shady parking places in high demand.
                    No third degree burns from seat belt buckles.
                    No blisters from the steering wheel, thank God.
                    AHHH  fall is in the air.

Very well written on the fall conditions where you are! Here it is rather cooler, can't walk bare foot but the smell in the air of coolness as people start to put warmer clothes on to await the new season! I really enjoyed this piece, thank you sharing! :)

Texas, To damn hot for me...! Fall is indeed in the air and on the air and around the air. Fall is what autom does and what it does is give us all a relaxing brake from the heat and an introduction to the cold to follow. Good Prose though!

Great light-hearted poem. I stay quite a distance from you which makes the poem even better as I am able to relate and smile at the fact that there are few differences in the world... feelings, happenings and weather although more prevalent in specific areas are all universal in the end.

Fall is definitely a lovely time of year. Nature has such a beautiful way of expressing this.
