Harvested fields now silent
Time earned for restful peace
Gratitude welcomed home
Each community’s showpiece

November gladly accepts
October’s autumn gifts
Landscape’s treasured colors
Winter’s cold breath still adrift

Fallen leaves ready to rake
Gathered into fresh piles
Autumn’s final witness
Countryside eagerly smiles

Autumn’s winds growing stronger
Frosty fingers appear
Winter’s air creeps closer
Foliage stripped, cold ‘n bare

Barren treetops offer praise
Snowy days parked ahead
Spring’s energy returns
Escape from winter’s cold bed
