Autumn crocuses –
first curtain call for summer
and changing seasons
Leaves turning to gold
and autumn scents in the air –
summer all but gone
Succulent fruits fall
in this bountiful season –
eat, drink and enjoy
Chestnuts ripening –
visions of an open fire
and snug evenings
Soft autumnal fog
creates watercoloured scenes
and shrouds the mountains
Ripe rowan berries
also known as mountain ash –
red by either name
The last leaf to fall
sees on its earthbound spiral
the first buds of spring
– Julie Adamson
