"A 'Late' Fall"
By Denny Jump

The seasons come and the seasons go,
Their exact arrival, we never know,
Some come early, some come late,
But as for autumn, I can never wait;
The season of colour, the season of light,
The season I dream about all through the night;

This year she stays far, far away,
She should be here now, but she is still on the way;
so we scratch and sniff to get a taste
from photos and books, leave nothing to waste!
we need our fix, an autumnal hit;
Yet, she teases us, still, and gives us a fit;

So, just dream of her as best you can;
wait and wait and make your plan;
She will be here, that is for sure,
That time of fall, so rich and pure:

A Late Fall.
