Fall came to town one day <br />with a subtlty I almost missed. <br />But a yellow leaf sailed gaily by <br />on a breeze a bit more than chill. <br />And how long now until <br />Madam Web-Weaver searches carefully <br />for a space to make her winter home? <br />Already I've seen the wooly-worms <br />in black or brown or gold. <br />Soon the geese will fall into formation, <br />and shout farewells from a cornflower sky. <br /> <br /> 9/18/06<br /><br />Toni Atchison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-day-in-early-fall/
