I put the lawn mower away <br />I don’t need it anymore <br />There is a chill now in the air <br />And I know what is in store <br /> <br />As I drive along the roads <br />Or take a relaxing walk <br />I notice the golds and yellows <br />And tall brown garden stalks <br /> <br />The garden vegetables picked <br />Frozen now or canned <br />Pumpkins orange and bright <br />For all the Halloween plans <br /> <br />Yes, I’m waiting for winter <br />Snow will thrill every girl and boy <br />But in the meantime I so love <br />Autumn and all it’s joy!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waitin-for-winter/
