I can feel the ache for autumn in your words, Christina Ward 🌼 Your poem has amazing imagery.

We are dry here, too, but I only have a townhome flower garden to worry about and can water what is struggling. I remember living in the country near here back in the mid-80s when we had 3 years of drought. Heartbreaking to watch nature wither and die.

Thank you for sharing your poem with us.
