Hail to Autumn at its very best <br />Before all the trees decide to rest. <br />The heat and humidity of summer finally past, <br />The chilly and frosty days will return at last. <br /> <br />Autumn brings her gifts all tied <br />With burnished vegetation far and wide, <br />Displaying an awesome scene for everyone <br />Beneath the cover of the lustrous sun. <br /> <br />Acorns dropped to the leaf-covered ground <br />Where hardy, orange pumpkins now abound. <br />Flocks of wildfowl in a southward flight, <br />Migrating to a region to avoid winter's plight. <br /> <br />All season long Autumn will proudly display <br />A skein of beautiful colors day after day <br />Until again the cold, Northerly Winds will blow <br />To eagerly remind us of the forthcoming snow. <br /> <br />It is Autumn's disposition to please each heart <br />With a spectacular event from the season's start. <br />The dark days of winter are now approaching fast, <br />So, Hail to Autumn for its memorable cast.<br /><br />Joseph T. Renaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hail-to-autumn/
