/When summer bids adieu
to start anew/

Hailing the advent of autumn
leaves fall in ecstasy on the ground
Bare stems miss their leaves green
Fields turn brown n’ lose their sheen
Mellowed sun spreads its pale rays
on barren meadows and heaps of hay
Showering on earth are lexicons from nature
spreading pages of poetic literature
Leaves carry death on their dusty wings
to be buried in the lap of Mother Earth
to sprout in spring
Autumn gifts the poets bounty
of metaphors
to write verses on naked stems of October.....
