Autumn
Autumn is falling under winter’s spell.
Leaves begin to lose their lively color,
falling to the ground, bidding a farewell.
Winter’s coming: day’s shorter, hopes smaller.
Summer trees grasp fall’s leaves, “Don’t go,” they say,
but summer cannot hold on forever,
fore winter’s cold wind blows the leaves away,
gone to winter- a risky endeavor.
The winter is cold; the summer is warm,
and the autumn can choose either weather,
but it always chooses a winter storm;
summer and autumn can’t be together.
Autumn then falls into winter’s cold hands,
succumbing to winter’s icy demands.

This poem symolizes loss. As autumn turns to winter, it reflects less and less of summer's warm qualities; days become shorter and colder. Although the sun tries to warm autumn, autumn ultimately and inevitably becomes cold winter.
