Autumn's Here by Phyllis Wax

Phyllis Wax writes in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. From the window in front of her desk, she observes an abundance of migrating birds, several generations of turkeys, and the occasional fox, deer, and raccoon.Some of those make their way into her poetry. Phyllis has read her work on the radio, in coffee shops, in libraries and bars, and her work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies.

Thank you all for your comments.At the risk of taking seriously a humorous comment, Neil, I want to point out that according to ukbutterflies.co.uk the monarch is the largest and one of the rarest migrants in the British Isles. (The next time I'm in London I'll have to watch the changing of the PM. Thanks for the tip.) Phyllis

Enjoyed greatly: thank you However, as a Brit, Im puzzled by the question in the last line: the new Monarch is either at Windsor Castle, just outside London, or at Buckingham Palace, in the centre of London. By the way, London tour guides are now offering a new feature. After watching the changing of the Guards outside Buckingham Palace, you can now watch the regular changing of the Prime Minister in Downing Street.

The last line is a surprise. I like poems that ask questions.
