The end of summer.

The last swallow has left to dart and flash his brilliance across more favoured lands. Morning mists,the Autumns first breaths are blown across the berried hedges,to be caught and gilded with droplets in September webs. Autumn leaves like bright coloured pennies,rustle and whisper in their restless quest to leave the bough, and fall in payment for summer's riches. Intangible scents wrap you round. Summer's passion spent,Autumn's soft seduction now begins.

Superb!

I normally do not care for prose poetry, but this poem makes a distinct exception to my personal preferences in verse.  Autumn is a special time of the year for me; and, although I have not been able to explain why (in the last 43 years that I have loved the Autumns), this poem goes a long way (and I do mean, a long, long way) toward explaining Autumn's mystery.  I am glad that random, but serendipitous, browsing brought me to this magnificent poem.  I agree with the comment above:  what a grand way to start your account at postpoems!
