The Deceiver

Writer: Nolcha FoxNolcha Fox

Lady Autumn is so lovely

in her crown of falling leaves.

She promises to wed us

in a gown of brilliant

reds and yellows.

Her kisses crackle

in the fireplace,

blowing chill, a pause

from summer.

She promises she’ll

stay forever, her 

love is good as gold.

Look away, she’s

out the door

to marry winter snow.
