Step Out of Summer
An Autumnal Equinox Poem
The summer winds down and the equinox approaches.
The time of play is at an end.
The summer sun weakens and a cooler breeze encroaches.
The school bells ring and the children attend.
Up north the leaves are turning,
and their crisp scent fills the air.
In fireplaces logs are burning,
and on the gridiron the players prepare.
At the Autumnal Equinox we step out of summer,
and into a colorful fall.
For a summer guy like me it is really a bummer,
but the world is made for us all.
