    About this ebook

    Autumn is the best of seasons, combining the last colourful flourishes of summer with the chilly onset of winter. These short poems celebrate the fall of summer, the shortening of the days and the approaching realism of winter. The colour red is also at its most vibrant and meaningful in autumn.
