Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower. One of my favorite Fall quotes. Now I have a favorite Fall poem. Thank you.

Thank you, Tom. This was my first attempt at a cinquain, and I enjoyed working with it. I am touched that I could write something that falls (no pun intended!) beneath a category as one of you “favorites”. 🙂
