Nip in the air

the last days of autumn

a drop in the air

mercury in thermometers

up and down the land

retreated

while hardy varieties

hang on to their leaves

conifers listen to the crackle

of their cousins decor

underfoot

and as jack frost paints

on every surface he can see

in mornings fog its icy today

and iced over leaves cheer with glee

its almost christmas – santa’s on his way!
