A poem about the transition taking place between seasons.
The Onset of Winter
by nomi338
When September ends, Autumn begins
I will not welcome those chilly winds.
In Summer we walked along the beach
That time is over, out of our reach.
Multicolored leaves fall from the trees
Covering the ground, stirred by the breeze.
Stripped of cover trees stick together
United they combat the weather
Tried to recall early September
It faded like a dying ember.
I will yet strive, to keep hope alive
When Summer ended, spirits took a dive
November, the gateway to Winter
Should bear a sign of, "Do not enter."
Hopefully, we take steps to ensure,
Our Winter gear will be secure.
So then, come on Winter if you must
My joy hides inside an icy crust.
Summer will return its welcome burn
For that joyous time, I do so yearn.
