The first days of fall

Woth vegetable marmalade

And the

Peach parade

Bring in the leaves

Of color scapes

Preparing

For the winter

That lie agead

On a day

In early September

We loved

Together

First

Start with a sigh

And a sign

Of the hope to come

Amidst the darkest of

Hours

This is the time

To grow

A new hope

Only the best

For the online test

Of social media

In distress

We paint a world

That is perfect

With every dip and curl

So paste your delicate

Piquant pictures

For the world to see

Obliterate

Or cooperate

Along the way

Of life

We have choices

To make

We can’t forsake

That with true discern

And concern

Every decision

We make

We hope to set the path straight

From the womb

To the grave

Every day

We must celebrate
