Autumn or Fall?

Today began my favorite season of the year.  The temperatures are cooling.  A sense of anticipation is in the air as we move into a new school year, the World Series, harvest time, football season, and the upcoming holidays.

To Autumn

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run...
-John Keats

Fall Wind
Pods of summer crowd around the door;

I take them in the autumn of my hands

Last night I heard the first cold wind outside;

The wind blew soft, and yet I shiver twice:

Once for thin walls, once for the sound of time.
—William Stafford
