Florida's Fall and Winter's Thrall

Tracie Walker
Extreme heat,
Monsoon rains,
Mosquitoes and Hurricanes.

Summer still.
Autumn's call
Doesn't reach us here at all.

But with Winter
Mild and warm,
Northerners come in a swarm!

See you soon!
Autumn's fun
Soon enough will all be done.

When it is,
From the north
Northerners will issue forth.

Enjoy Fall;
When snow flies
Florida is where all hope lies!

    Love it! With the sudden disasters that can happen in other areas of the country, I'll take the long warnings we get for hurricanes here in Florida anytime!

    Fun poem! I do enjoy my 4 seasons, although sometimes during August and February I forget that ...

    I'm chuckling because when the leaves begin to fall, several of our neighbors begin closing up shop here in NY and they do head down to Florida :) cheers

    Nice job Tracie, but I love the changing seasons, good, bad or indifferent!

    Well said...and this is so true. You have it all there in Florida. Both the bad and the good. Winter is when we all look to Florida where old man winter just can't quite make it. Nicely done.
