Buffeting a fluttering leaf,
Shed by a tree as if in grief.
The cool, gentle, refreshing breeze
Fragrantly scented by moist trees,
Reminding us that winter's near.
Another leaf, summer's last tear.

Wonderful imagery in these lines 'Shed by a tree in grief' would have to be my favourite. The whole poem flows so seamlessly and your rhyme I hardly noticed, it was so good!
Thank you for entering my first contest.

Thank you very much dear. I know you love the summer. And to you autumn is the end of warmth and the onset of the cold. I am trying to pull out of my dark writings. They put me in a funk.
