Anticipation

Summer’s chapter ends

Autumn’s colors being groomed—

Landscape awakens

Fulfillment

Summer’s gate closes

Autumn’s eager to open—

Cascading colors

Transformation

Summer’s warmth fading

Sunlight’s arc sliding lower—

Autumn here at last

From the words of American farmer, artist, and writer, Rowland E. Robinson:  “September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn air.”
