Long sleeves caress our arms
in a soft warm embrace.
Autumn has come
to break heat’s sweltering hold
on the long afternoons.
Now can begin the slow progression
of sleeves to sweaters,
jackets to coats,
light linens to blankets and comforters.
As the days grow shorter
and the leaves turn color and fall,
we surround ourselves with soft textures.
We snuggle down against
the increasing cold,
cupping hot mugs in our hands.

Hi Lori, changing clothes with seasons is good and natural, the poem has a sweet play about your changing clothes, loved it

Great write my friend. Would sure like some of the cooler air down here! Have had a lot of rain lately, which has kept to temps. in the upper 80's, but back to the 90's next week!

I know that's ever so right, Lori. My long sleeves is aching to be worn.
