Droplets of cooling lava leaves
(After Keats)
Oh sweet maple tint surrender
Oh moody glass of wine saviour
Thy all-vanquishing season of reprieve
serenading our scorched existence
with your lava dipped, leaves
as droplets of Nature’s cooling breeze
How crisp thy melodic accompaniment
to each trudging step, crackling
beneath and serenading eyes
from above
Salvation season, beloved of Keats
what promise held in thy brooding clouds
to counter
our despair of heatwave Summer
Autumn, thy name and austere thy role
in our yearly cycle, come
we beseech thee, caress
our sunburned foreheads and hearts
Soothe, our weary aches and hurts
and like that most cherished Spring
we welcome ye, gladly
our Autumn of reinvigorating foggy amber!

A voice once again heard, and always loved. While the leaves in my part of the world have turned, they are reluctant to leave the trees. I yearn for the cool, crisp feel of autumn, as I wait out the 60 degree weather forecasted through the end of Oct. Here's to autumn my friend, you do it proud.
funny, cocooned in our locality
we forget seasons differ in timeline around the world
hope you have a wonderfully scenic Autumn, dear Poet
and thank you for your wonderfully poetic comment:
'While the leaves in my part of the world have turned
they are reluctant to leave the trees.
I yearn for the cool, crisp feel of autumn,'
