Autumn. TBC...

As winter hushes all growth enthused,
Same way spring hopes to growth infuse,
And summer basks in growth abounding,
So autumn offers pause resounding.

Contraries make known a vast array
Such contrasting autumn’s artful day--
Between the stance of summer’s verdance
And a whiter, colder winter’s cadence.

Fall further dims summer’s already dusk
Distracting any path to winterlust
Golden to orange to crimson flushing--
Formerly muted hues now boldly blushing....
-T. Emerson
