Autumn Comes

Autumn Comes

Cool shivers stroke the earth
The north wind carrying a message:
The approaching death of summer!
Cruel fingers wrap themselves around the leaves
They transform their green shades
To hues of orange, and red,
Yellows, browns, rusty splashes!
The new orchestra of Autumn would make summer blush
And the innocence of spring appears to be grey.
In the twilight of the season nature reaches out her hand
And paints the world with sensations
Of still, frail beauty…
A tragic funeral to the warm sunshine
While heralding in the feast of ice.
A solemn procession to announce the time
When finally, Autumn comes.

i had never really felt bad that we over here in the tropics don't get that four seasons thing (except for the times when i would wish for snow as a kid) but you seriously made me wish we had autumn too...

i especially liked:

The new orchestra of Autumn would make summer blush
And the innocence of spring appears to be grey.

thanks! :)

Dear Amanda,
Yes, I know that too.But anyone who writes can imagine snowing too.Spring in hot countries are lovable too.

There is a lot of sensation and the feel of the arrival of summer. Plentifully I find use of images and imaginably nature personifies here.
