I like the fall
The mist and all
I like the night owl’s lonely call
And wailing sound
Of wind around

I like the gray
November day
And bare, dead boughs that coldly sway
Against my pane
I like the rain

I like to sit
And laugh at it
And tend my cozy fire a bit
I like the fall
The mist and all

Did you write that? I currently live in the Caribbean, but am from the NE US...this poem is exactly how I feel often.

I really enjoyed reading it...whether yours or not, thank you for sharing.
