More Like Autumn

Days are shorter

Nights are longer

Sun is lower

Shadows lengthier

Mornings mistier

Breath is steamier

Grass is dewier

Sometimes frostier

Wind is blowier

Chillier, wetter.

Hedgerows fruitier

Cobwebs webbier

Leaves are looser

Redder, browner

Goldener, drier

Crispier, droppier

Autumn’s nearer

Sometimes prettier

Sometimes gloomier

Winter’s harbinger
