Autumn Petrarchan Sonnet

There’s a sadness in summer’s end;

Red and brown,

A misty town,

The feeling of losing a friend


And there is beauty in autumn’s start;

Crisp, fresh sky,

Mountains high,

Embers igniting inside your heart


Winter and spring

Dance and sing

Celebrating everything


Wet and dry

Laugh and cry

Watch the seasons go on by
