Farewell to Summer - 2024

Falling Autumn leaves brashly wave goodbye to Summer And strew the pathways with emeralds, rubies, and gold. Radiant beauty engages the land in mummer Encouraging Summer to relent and let loose its hold. Watching with glum expression and immodest dress, Eventually losing the tug-of-war with the chill cold. Life and death become the drum to which She will bend Leaving the breathless Wind time to nimbly mend. Tomorrow She moves forward Onward from time borrowed. Sulking away with dried diamonds Until Autumn’s auric sky explodes Mindfully exposing Her horizons. Memory of Summer implodes. Efficacious efforts of Her victory, Reign of Autumn’s golden glory.

Loved reading your wonderful Acrostic write. We must say, goodbye to Summer but do not be sad. It will come back again next year with a big smile... Have a great day writing away..............

So sorry you missed the Summer Arthur. It was a mild one here, though still some triple digits slipped through. Yea for Fall! :)

Autumn certainly produces amazing colours Linda, a well composed acrostic, I find them tricky to write. Tom
