but on deceptive winds, the winged flee
heralding the approaching cold
fall’s crispness
winter
snap

IT’S COMING…AND THEY WILL SOON BE LEAVING!
Some of them are already moving!
This is why I moved to Florida!
Smart move. =)
like the way you move from the fullness of summer to those short crisp lines for winter
Thank you! ❤
Your words have me excited for the time of year I love.
I’m sure autumn will be quicker to arrive than you expect. =)
I know and happy. 🙂 Can’t wait for winter too.
Love love the way you wrote this. Something about “winter snap”–beautiful and haunting.
nice, tight, the advance structured into the descending/declining-in-length lines. well done.
Thank you!
