with it’s ally the rain
the battlefields
were littered with
the leaves of autumn

the change is so obvious, so dramatic
leaves changing color
bird’s flying south
the chill in the air

There’s a golden yellow blanket
covering the grass
as leaves fall from forsythia
now autumn comes to pass
November sees a bluster
and they fall down to the ground
the foliage from the summer
now for a winter found

The mist above the river
was ethereal today
most evident on the bypass
as back home we made our way
The golden of the sunshine
like a yellow echo there
as we drove into the spectral
which consumed most everywhere

In the churchyard there’s a tree
which is golden at this time
particularly lovely when
on days like this it’s fine
I’m thinking it is magical
with a secret proud to share
showing off its wonder here
to all who stop and stare

Last time I came along this way
it was chalk upon my feet
Clouds of dust cooked by the sun
in lovely summer heat
But what a change here now to see
now autumn rains have come
the dried out dip now water-filled
reflecting autumn sun

Clouds in the field
and up in the sky
caught my eye there
as I wandered by
Some in the green
and others in blue
reflecting each other
the fall to eschew

Up on the six mile circuit
these hills retain their charm
bathed in an autumn sunshine
they bring a certain calm
And wandering by these hedgerows
with berries bright and red
this is the perfect place to be
o’er anywhere else instead
So I put best foot forward
and walked because I can
so conscious of the simple fact
a lucky chap I am

I stepped inside a masterpiece
with reds and oranges and
yellows liberally added
by Nature’s abstract hand
I didn’t know which way to turn
for there was wonder everywhere
so I simply turned in circles
to absorb the glory there

Turning now
the green will fade
to liquid gold
of Autumn shade
Past equinox
less sunlight hours
But warm enough
for many flowers

Intangible, there’s something
different in the air
Not too sure about that though
as it’s not, as yet, quite there
Some say it is the Autumn
knocking at the door
Yet today I felt the summer
coming back for more

The creeper and the honeysuckle
Both are turning red
Just one more show of colour
Before off to winter bed
Red glow after sunset
Still heralds warming rays
But the sun is now more distant
So we’re set for cooler days

Flowers here, pinks and reds
Yellows, blues and greens
Along with trees all turning now
Autumn’s here it seems
It rains a little more these days
The grass is greener now
Recovering from the days of heat
And the sun that burned our brow
Shorter now and cooler
The days are drawing in
A time for quiet reflection
Before the winter can begin

Although the leaves are on the turn
And some are falling from the trees
It is summer I am feeling still
With its warmth upon my knees
The cooler days and evenings
That autumn soon will bring
Isn’t lost on me today and yet
It is to summer that I cling

Pale white shrouding golden glow
Hovering over water, slow
Morning waking, slumber stays
Green peers slowly from the haze
Whimsy holds, removed I see
A world at distance, wistfully

In the woods I saw a curtain
hanging from a tree
Really quite significant
It said a lot to me
It spoke of changing seasons
standing side by side
when youth makes ways for wisdom
and Summer turns to hide

Raining now and cooler
Autumn’s finally gotten hold
But there’s still a little warmth out there
and it’s not yet all that cold
Some days when the sun comes out
the summer I still see
Although the falling leaves from
every shrub and bush and tree
tell me that it won’t be long
’til winter’s brittle time
When everyone will dress up warm
even when it’s fine

As autumn takes hold
Summer fades to memory
with a tinge of sadness there
Yet with the autumn
the golden treasure returns
And we are richer for that

Something of the joy to come

This evening we were in a painting
with colours and contrast and hue
beneath a cloudscape of wonder
providing a wonderful view
It was just like a Constable landscape
above and around us out here
exquisite the joy that it brought us
for a message abundantly clear

And though the darkness now appears
earlier each day
it’s good to see the summer lights
still twinkle here I’d say
For even though it’s cooler now
they speak of pleasure past
and keeps the memory intact
ensuring it will last

To the woods in the rain
To sit by the fire
And warm up my hands in the dry
The sound of the drops
As it hammered down lots
And the summer hurried on by
