Autumn Forecast

Like Anser geese flying south
for the winter,
flocks of paper thin
cirrus clouds
are blown
across the cerulean sky.

Gathering around
the crests of jagged peaks,
they embrace the mountain tops
like a band
of gray-white woolen cloth
protecting
from a cold fall breeze.

In the valley,
we go indoors
and locking out the autumn scented wind,
we search through attics or closets
for last year's coats and boots.

Note: Anser geese are gray geese. Prompts: boots, geese, band, paper.
