Indian Summer

the lazy bones yearn,
late summers refuse to move
winter knocks on door.


( An Indian summer is a heat wave that occurs in the autumn. It refers to a period of considerably above-normal temperatures, accompanied by dry and hazy conditions, usually after there has been a killing frost. )

  5. Oh the Prairies of Canada we defined Indian Summer as a warm period after the first snow fall. I like what you've done with this prompt.
