Love Poem: Fall Lover

Written by: Joyce Johnson

Fall Lover

My springtime love was much too young.
He came before his flings were flung.

Beguiled by beauty in the spring.
His fickle love was passing thing.

A summer love was more mature
But much too hot to long endure.

The heat of summer soon will pass
And then I’ll be a lonely lass.

In fall I have a cooler head
To search for one to warm my bed.

Fall love survives the wind's first blast
And through the winter’s cold will last.
