Two Sounds of Autumn
by Hal Borland
Two sounds of autumn are unmistakable:
The hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street or road by a gusty wind,
And the gabble of a flock of migrating geese.
Both are warnings of chill days ahead, fireside, and topcoat weather.
As featured onThe Daily Gardener podcast:
Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
