************************************
Winters icy chill,
Leaves frost on tender branches,
Bidding fall goodnight.
************************************
The wane of summer,
Ignites a rush of color,
Solace to the eyes.
************************************
Howl of autumn wind,
A cyclone of rainbow leaves,
Falls softly to earth.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
**********************************
In forests once green
Shades of red and gold command
Ushering in fall.
**********************************
Frost, crystalline cold
Blankets flower’s tender leaves
Goodbye until spring.
**********************************
Cool air fills the lungs
Cleansing the body and soul
Giving us new life.
