Florida Fall

By Capt. Fogg

Florida falls into autumn
with a sense of change you
may not see in the weather
or the falling of leaves
or ripening fruit,
but feel in an easing of pressure
a thinning of the still hot air,

The odor of this morning is different.
Something is coming soon.
Black vultures in a tree wait.
Osprey on white wings
screams a warning.
