Summer turns to autumn
Scarlet sky alight
Eager eyes they clock watch
As long day’s turn to night
The warmth of sun is over
Coolness in the air
A plethora of auburn
Arrives without a care
The fiery transformation
Crimson covers green
The bloody red of summer
No longer to be seen
We stand out like heat addicts
Cursing covered clouds
Stripping us of what is left
Nature’s cruellest shroud
Yet all this is transition
For there is worse to fear
Just around the corner
Winter starts to sneer
