You just knew that Winter was on its way
Obvious signs were in the air
leaves in the local parks were covering the lawns
and thermometers in the house were in retreat
but elsewhere around the house
as the conifers casually watched
a tree at the back was screaming out a warning
“The temperatures dropping get out of the cold!”
Its leaves changed colour from green – to red and gold
and for wildlife, who hadn’t headed off to the sun
it was a sign to take cover – and off they did run
The Inkwell 
I live in FL now but grew up in CT. The other day I could have sworn I heard a song bird that I used to hear in the spring up north. I wish I knew what bird it was but I was thinking maybe this is where they come for winter. It was strange how it was just a comforting sound.
