Be clothed within an autumn mist
Of morning’s coolest dew
Look upward to the painted sky
Of season’s rusty hue
Step lightly midst the crunching leaves
That blow ‘pon hearty breeze
Then hunker down and lay their bed
‘Neath winters snowy freeze
Be crisp the night with snap of chill
And short of day be warm
The sunset mirrors the changing leaves
As stars of night do form
The fields be tanned with burdened straw
Of summer’s life fulfilled
And autumn’s flowers, days be kissed
With season’s colors willed.

Beautiful photo. I just love fall. The colors, the cool crisp air. We are still in the mid 90's here in SoCal though. Wish it would cool down.

Love the poem and the barn. I've been painting old barns lately, very similar to this one. Love them.
The barn is beautiful. I think that Autumn is my favorite time of year. No, maybe Spring. Sigh, I never can decide, but I do know that I'm always glad when Autumn comes and we get relief from the miserable hot days of Summer.
Beautiful poem!
