Needful rest from sweltered sun
Omitted daylight hours dwindle
Vivacious winds twinge collars curled
Empty nests of birds flown south
Meandering leaves find their corner
Basting turkey in oven’s warmth
Every sign sings winter’s arrival
Reminding me how seasons change

Beautiful piece. I love the soft feel of the poem and the way it embraces the change of season instead of fighting it. Nice acrostic.

Very Familiar Weather Trends...
Bracing from the blast of winter winds makes these lines most familiar these days...and the turkey of a few weeks ago will be replaced with a new one...Love your imagery as always, S....delightful!

Very true, as winter is around the corner, as birds gather to fly south. A sight to see and enjoy. Your write records the coming winter with its sweep of the land leaving a white covering. Another beauty all to itself. Thank you for lovely write.
