First Day of Autumn

It doesn’t seem like autumn yet

But it will very soon, I’d bet.

Though all the leaves I see are green,

The air is feeling in-between.

 

It isn’t crisp or brisk, but still,

Beneath the muggy, there’s a chill,

Not quite enough for sweats or fleece,

But plenty for departing geese.

 

Today is the official date

Of autumn’s start and I can’t wait

For foliage that shouts out “Fall!”

And weather I love best of all.
