We anticipated Autumn's beautiful golden days
This is our favorite time of the year-long phase
Yet, summer's best of weather lingered on and on
Caressed us by warmer weather like a lullaby song
Alas the glorious September month arrived on cue
Autumn' s favorite time of the year this we knew
Fall's Equinox announced the first day of autumn
When nature's luscious bounty was not forgotten
On pristine days, the sun seemed evermore brighter
The sky more intensely blue, the clouds even whiter
Apple picking excursions to orchards way upstate
The pungent pure air tasted like apple peel of late
The gold of Autumn brings the gentle chill of fall
With verdant meadows and bird song most of all
Here and there a lone yellow leaf suddenly appears
The trees respond and wear tawny colors in their hair
In all its flaming glory trees perform their foliage dance
The forest sings a new tune of Indian Summer romance
The scene was painted like a Claude Monet picnic party
And Autumn was named the crowning glory, very arty
And new beginnings started up and rushed in again
Back-to-school, our social calendars were in a spin
I do so very much mind saying goodbye to September
Knowing that I cannot hold back the time I am resigned.
