Summer has ended and fall is now here
Holidays and joy coming ever so near
The layers of autumn charming with hues
Inviting to all who relish her views
Orange sunsets of a sleepy fall sky
Cool Crisp days prior to winter’s cry
The trees magnificent colors abound
Bringing beauty to everything around
Halloween magic of costumes and fun
Parading through town as all creatures come
Collecting their candy with all of their friends
Eating their treasures once festivities end
Thanksgiving soon follows family joy for all
Relatives at the table, how fantastic is fall
Turkey and trimmings such fabulous treats
Stories galore of their tales and their feats
While the days might get shorter a little each day
The colors of fall in our memories stay
A season so grand, so majestic is she
Wishing this is the way it always will be
Michael Shapiro, a writer in the Tuesday Night Writers Workshop, lives with his three dogs Bailey, Bell, and Karma. He began writing again after his wife died last December. He loves writing because, in his words, "I feel close to her when I write. I know we write together. (One Pen Two Hands One Mind One Heart). If my poems can bring a smile to someone or touch them in some positive way, I know I am honoring her and making a difference, which she would approve of. She is my inspiration. My goal is to share some joy."
