The Hint of Autumn

The hint of autumn leaves in breeze As northern states begin to chill, When August morning frost in trees Drapes canopies o’er sylvan hill. As summer waltzes her last dance, The hint of autumn leaves in breeze Adds to the season her romance, When dappled colors start to tease As nature offers her first freeze. Soon verdant leaves morph into gold. The hint of autumn leaves in breeze Foretells of changes to behold. Bright autumn hues beyond compare, As gold, ruby, and rust now please When summer’s end began to share The hint of autumn leaves in breeze. 8-16-22 ~Seventh Place~ Hint of Autumn Premiere Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh ~Poem of the Day August 17, 2022~ Thank you very much Team Poetry Soup and Members

Hi Connie, my heart is sorrowed at the sad news of your passing. You were always a special friend of mine and I always loved collaborating with you. You were a most special lady. There is that part of me that is glad to know that you will now be with Michael and your son. You shall make Heaven shine. Go unto thy paradise on wings of love and may the angels herald the coming of God's brightest star. Love and Hugs always ..... Michael. XXXXXXXXXX You bring Autumn to life.

Dear Connie, I will miss your beautiful poetry, and the kind words you always wrote that were a lift to my heart. I know you're with your loved ones again, and that makes the sorrow less heavy.

Connie, I was thinking about you today, God needed another angel I suppose, but why did he have to take you? So, many beautiful tribute poems have been written for you since your death, you were loved so much here on Poetrysoup. I will miss you every single day and thank you for leaving us your poetry to treasure, rest in peace, dear friend, Constance

my deepest condolences to Connie's family. Connie is the type of poet that as you read each line her voice becomes a thousand echoes within aligning in a neuro pathway assuring you have found another soul who walks with you. and this poem is volumes in that....

Hi Connie, i missed this absolute gem, Im so sorry. Congrats my dear friend. I read the poem and THOUGHT THIS SHOULD BE POEM OF THE DAY AND VOILA, WHEN I STARTED TO READ YOUR LOVELY COMMENTS, BECAUSE EVERYONE ON SOUP LOVES YOU I WAS SO PLEASED. I'M SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, BUT I HAVE BEEN TYPING ALL MORNING AND MY BROKEN, HEALING WRIST IS BOTHERING ME SO I DIDN'T GO BACK TO DO SMALL CAPS. Love and best wishes, Jennifer.
