Summer has come and gone
leaves will turn from green
to gold like a bright yellow Marigold
to red as a crisp Gala apple
then brown as a hibernating bear's hide.
Gentle weather will be found
no more "too hot" days.
Nights turn cooler,
animals rush to harvest.
Children grow excited
for that special time of spooks
pranks and laughter.
Then comes Thanksgiving,
a time of family, food and fun.
As fall drifts to a close,
the last leaf floating
down
down
down
and Autumn will soon be done.

EXCELLENTLY magnific...
Lovely... A paean sung to Nature's majesty... "Summer Rays fade to Golden Days" glows as it shows the beauty of life's metamorphosis.
In respect and admiration,

If you don't mind my saying so- this was a-freaking-mazing! The only thing you could improve upon wuld be to maybe make your similies a little more sophisticated- they are a bit cliche. Not much, but a bit. Otherwise, great poem- I loved reading it!
