The late fall season 
sees the rapid change
in Nature's colours
as the weather begins to cool.

A bright Sunday morning
greets a flurry of packing
as summer toys are stored away.

The partly strung
tennis racquet recalls
the hot summer afternoons,
where the susurrant sound
of a swinging arm
was the calm contrast
to the hard "thwack" 
against the ball.

Swinging it one more time,
it lands in a box,
destined for the basement corners.

- based on words provided by Dee Robinson - racquet; susurrant; basement
