Changing colors, dropping temperatures, pumpkin spice lattes: do these mainstays of Fall fill your heart with warmth — or with dread?

---

Autumn comes,

Summer leaves.

Can winter be far behind?

I love the colors, have no doubt

but not so much the sudden chill that cautions me of the cold to set in.

There may be many who’d not fear 

but rather welcome a 

time to hibernate.

I am no winter’s child.

I’ll follow the sun—anytime.
