OUR FAVORITE SEASON !


TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON
AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE
UNDER THE HEAVEN
Ecclesiastes 3



A SEASON OF
CONTEMPLATION,
A CHANCE TO REMEMBER
DAYS GONE BY
AND TO PLAN
NEW PATHS FOR THE FUTURE






THE COLORS OF FALL

Filling the sky with crimson and gold,
Leaves scatter without a sound.
Carelessly dancing in the
crisp autumn air,
they gently cascade to the ground.
Covering the earth like a
warm blanket,
of brilliant color and beauty,
the changing of the season beckons
for all the world to see.

SUMMER TIME
IS GONE MY FRIENDS

Summer time is gone my friends,
It slowly comes but quickly ends.
It's been replaced by time called Autumn.
Nature changes hues from top to bottom
Green gives way to red and gold.
A lovely vision to behold.
Whirling leaves go blowing by
Carrying smells of pumpkin pie.
The air turns crisp the sky fades grey. Indian corn and bales of hay.
Overcoats and apple cider.
No more evenings on the glider.
The harvest moon so orange and round
Holidays will soon abound.
Chrysanthemum petals start to unfold
A lovely vision to behold.

AUTUMN - -
A season of gathering
a time to collect
nature's bountiful harvests
and to admire the beauty
of colorful falling leaves.





AUTUMN LEAVES

Sweep the leaves together,
Yellow, brown and red,
Let us make a bonfire
Now that they are dead.

Chestnut leaves and beech leaves,
Ash and lime and oak,
Fir-cones and pine needles
Kindle into smoke.

Leaves that all the summer
Gave us cool and shade--
What will be left of them
When our bonfire's made?

Only death-like ashes,
But from this same dust
Suns one day will fashion
Life anew, we trust.

AUTUMN SONG
Arlette Lees Baker

When autumn bites the brittle air,
We raid the cedar chest
For patchwork quilts and fluffy downs
To line our winter nest.

We gather chestnuts in the woods
To roast before the snows
And ball our scarlet yarn for socks
To toast our winter toes.

We bunch our beds beneath the beams
And cut a length of log
And share the cracking woodbox warmth
With cat and mouse and dog.

We save a sad, sweet memory
For summers burning bright
Then cuddle up with cocoa cups
To greet the frosty night.







Nature's
Fall
Garden
Loise Pinkerton Fritz

The treetops are sun-touched
Along country lanes
That wend through the meadows
And woodland terrain.
The leaves are so beauteous
With color aflame,
Since nature is singing
Its autumn refrain.

Near fence rows grow sumacs
All coned with bright red,
And bordering these beauties
Are goldenrod beds.
Sun's rays touch the earth shades
And highlight each hue
Of nature's fall garden
As autumn skips through.











OCTOBER SONG

It's showering yellow leaves today,
The lowmost limbs are bare,
And there's a lusty pungency,
Like challenge, in the air.

I'll take your challenge, Autumn,
Lay down my years, my load,
To roam like a child in the woodland
And down the river road.

Then when age makes me prisoner
This zest, this tang, shall stay
And set my old lips singing
It's showering leaves today!
Kunigunde Duncan





NOVEMBER WOODS

Lovely are the silent woods
in gray November days,
When the leaves fall red and gold
about the quiet ways,
From massive beech, majestic oak
and birches white and slim,
Like the pilared aisles of a cathedral
vast and dim.

Drifting mist like smoking incense
hangs upon the air--
Along the paths where birds once sang
the trees stand stripped and bare,
Making Gothic arches
with their branches interlaced,
And windows framing vistas,
richly wrought and finely traced.

It is good to be in such a place
on such a day--
Problems vanish from the mind
and sorrows steal away;
In the woods of gray November
silent and austere,
Nature gives her benediction
to the passing year.
Patience Strong
