Autumn

yearning for autumn

"AUTUMN"

This summer's been hot and long

Should not complain, seems so wrong

I'm sick of the heat and these sticky nights

Sweating buckets and midgey bites

Summer dresses, sandals and creams

Jumpers and warm socks fill my dreams

Autumn days are on my mind

Only ones of a certain kind

Falling leaves of orange and green

Every year like eyes just seen

The beauty of an autumn day

Where nature's best is on display

Crisp, cold air, clean and dry

While sun still shines up in the sky

Crunching on leaves as we walk

Vigour in our step as we talk

Summer crowds have gone away

Leaving space to enjoy the way

Nights come in quicker now

Don't have to sweat your brow

Cosy jammies, hot chocolate drinks

Sharing movies, laughs and winks

Big duvets, comfy throws

Listen as the wind does blow

Autumn how I love your colours

Reviews

[Dave Brown]

Your review of my poem gave me a chance to look at your work
Like your style, a bit like mine, easy to understand
I have an autumn effort waiting in the wings also. I guess it is time to ease along
Summer has been much too hot with too many problems
good work
