As Summer Fades into Fall

Hello my dear readers,

The ideas swimming in my head aren't yet formed into something corporate enough to write about so I settled on a poem instead. The poem was supposed to express my feelings as the season is changing and summer is fading into autumn, but I don't feel it does justice to my thoughts. I suppose it is a start of sorts. Do try to enjoy!

I feel the season changing as my hours are with the clock.
Soon we shan't be able to leave home without  boots or sweaters.
When the first rain falls for all of two seconds, the natives I gleefully mock.
Yest still I dread the oncoming colds and flus from which we must now get better.

Darkness is more prevalent now, and in mornings it is hard to wake.

The path to school and work is fraught with chill and nip.
For some of my patients ankles and wrists will now start to ache.
Motivation is harder to come by, and ever chapped is my lip.

Sunshine is still found each day, although less and less.

The warmth of her I do so long for, as her friends the clouds take over.
I miss the days of summer now, when all was free and my hair a happy mess.
In summer everything feels right and it is easy to dream of rainbows and four-leaf clovers.

Well now you see why I don't rhyme or write poems, as my skills do dearly lack!

I ask only that you read with patience, since perhaps one day I will find my true knack!

I remain yours (a less than desirable poet),
Shira

היום קשה לי לכתוב את המחשבות שלי אז כתבתי שירה...ממש פחות כדאי לי!
Translation: Today it's hard for me to write my thoughts so I wrote a poem...really not worthwhile for me!
