The Poem of the Month (September, 2009): AUTUMN


_
The Autumn

By Jerome D'Costa


The Autumn is in,
Summer is out.
Flowers that bedecked
The gardens and lawns,
Are either wilted or about to fall,
Making the plants almost bare or dead.

Fruits, melons, pumpkins and the like
Are in the markets and shelves,
Attracting customers in droves
Who will relish the Nature's bounty?

Frequent blasts of wind,
Beating the leaves -- many of them
Yellow, orange, reddish or brown,
About to drop to the ground en masse,
Giving the appropriate name "the Fall"
To the season of Autumn.
