Autumn's back.
Swooping Swifts and sweeping Swallows,
larking Larks and grouping Geese.

bedding down and taking chances,
stopping frosts from permeating.

colours sparkle magic landscapes,
moonlit nighttimes moonbeams sprawling
thus contorting harmless shapes.
If all was same all year around,
we'd soon be bored and pine for ground.

For lack of rain a sight most seen
Brown beneath the withered
