Autumn is Here
Soft spoken shadows crouch
hushed, as
Sun dappled patterns on the pavement,
weakly filtered through misty haze,
lie scattered there.
Summer's picnic is over;
leaves litter the grounds
once verdantly green,
now yellowed and bronzed
like carelessly tossed wrappers
of carefree revelers,
the confetti and streamers of Summer's parade
in the gutter now
forgotten.
Like the pre-election politician's hollow ring
Spring's sweet promise
lies in ash piles now
as
pungent acrid smoke signals tell us...
Autumn is here.
