Autumn Images
Nature relaxes after a fecund summer,
Cows swim between misty harvest sheaves,
Chill morning feel of the winter newcomer,
Children kick through drifts of leaves.
Walkers crunch through dry stubble trails,
Pheasants whirr into startled flight,
Trees hold their breath, fearing gales,
Leaves turn golden in fiery delight.
Starling on wire queues to fly South,
Robin shows off his new red breast,
Rabbit fur air caresses the mouth,
Swallow has flown, never to rest.
The seasons cycle through to Autumn,
Tupping all over, a new life to come.
