A poem about the seasons, holiday, and thanksgiving. Hope you enjoy!

As the snow begins to fall,
and Autumn quickly passes by,
I still am having a hard time
Kissing summer days goodbye.

I miss the warmth of July,
bright sunshine raining down.
Flowers waving hello,
as they make their appearance
after hiding from the cool spring air.

The leaves take their time,
changing from green to brown.
Falling from the trees,
to the cold wet ground.

You can smell pumpkin pies, 
turkey,and mashed potatoes.
Family all around,
giving thanks to surviving another year
and sharing the blessings they have found.

You may not have the same weather,
but the year is coming to an end.
Day by day we’ll get through the winter
and then we’ll enjoy the warm summer.

Until Autumn passes by,
and the snow falls once again

    My summer was way too cold and my autumn way too short this year. Going to be a long winter in Minnesota.

    I like the imagery and your attention to detail in this one a lot. Like the way that it reads.

    I love this piece! You make the images and smells of your words leap off the page and enter the reader! As you know, I have been a fan and freind of yours for quite some time. Over the past year or so, you wrote a lot about how your life was a mess (nothing wrong with that), and now you seem to have completley changed. You have defintely grown to become a very good poet and writer. If you don’t mind telling me, what changed you? I was always worried about you and I feel that I do not have to worry anymore. If it’s too personal, that’s cool. LOL.
