Poem...... Autumn Fires Autumn Fires An autumn fire races through the forest, Tongues of russet, crimson and gold, Flare brightly amidst the greens, then freeze in place. Below it all a white-tailed deer feeds, Peaceful and undisturbed. No smoke rises from these blazes, Just a gentle morning mist all silver. No cries of terror ring, no hearts bleed pain. A rabbit sniffs the autumn breeze, And hops away unconcerned. It's only Autumn with her artist's brush, Swirling colors through the leaves. Invitations to a last dance for the trees, A fandango, a fiesta, a highland's reel, Before the long winters rest. I sit and marvel at the beauty on display, The brightest and most wonderful in years. And in my mind I feel they know I'm leaving soon, Never to return again. It's Canada saying goodbye. Copyright by: Wayne Pond Oct. 12, 2003

Thanks everyone!!  Actually, this poem was written just a couple of months before I moved down here. The autumn display was the brightest I'd seen in years and there wasn't much wind and rain which usually knocks the leaves off pretty quick.The week before I actually left Canada we had over 6ft of snow in 2 days.... and I sure don't miss that!!! |
