THE FLAMES OF AUTUMN

By Sue Vincent and Charles Robert Lindholm 

Can you see
the first golden
flames of autumn
start to show
as the leaves burn and turn
into glorious colors
as summer drifts away
on the memories of yesterdays 

Can you smell it
in the crisp morning air
with the hint of a mist on the ground
and smoke in the air
from the morning fires
in the fireplaces.  

Autumn is sneaking up on us
and will soon burst
across the landscape
with every leaf arrayed
in gold, orange and yellow
in its yearly fashion show. 

I can’t wait!!
