Autumn Cheer

The days are shorter now that Autumn is here The breezes are cool and the water is cold Nights are golden, and have a special cheer The trees all stand firmly, as they are quite old The breezes are cool and the water is cold The leaves are all changing, and fall slowly The trees all stand firmly, as they are quite old Feelings amassed during this time can be lowly The leaves are all changing, and fall slowly Great is the masterpiece, but the nights are long Feelings amassed during this time can be lowly Freezing temperatures can bring excitement along Great is the masterpiece, but the nights are long The rain simply pitter-patters on the evening strolls Freezing temperatures can bring excitement along Turning into snow as winter comes into the knolls The rain simply pitter-patters on the evening strolls As Autumn starts to extend its long-handed mist Turning into snow as winter comes into the knolls The night brings a life where we want to be kissed As Autumn starts to extend its long-handed mist Nights are golden, and have a special cheer The night brings a life where we want to be kissed The days are shorter now that Autumn is here Russell Sivey

I love autumn Russell with its colors, harvests, longer evenings and cooler temperatures. Your wondrous poem speaks to everything that I love about this season in your beautiful poetic voice. I completely enjoyed your Pantoum. Well done and good luck in the contest!
