Poem: <\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nAutumnal Equinox (Abecedarian poem)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Autumnal Equinox, an astronomical event<\/p>\n
begins the fall season.<\/p>\n
Celebrations abound on one particular<\/p>\n
day, balanced between<\/p>\n
equal amounts of night and day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fall is a metamorphosis that changes<\/p>\n
green deciduous trees into brilliant<\/p>\n
hues that stand out like a splash of fireworks.<\/p>\n
Iridescent, dazzling, shifting primary color are<\/p>\n
juxtaposed beside blue-green hemlock trees.<\/p>\n
Kaleidoscopic movements shift with autumn\u2019s breeze.<\/p>\n
Life forces flow as ancient Connoquenessing creek<\/p>\n
moves furiously around Pennsylvania\u2019s hills and valleys<\/p>\n
never-ending twists and turns<\/p>\n
over farmlands and forests.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pennsylvania has the most variety<\/p>\n
Quietly, the landscape changes when<\/p>\n
rainy rural nights bring cooler days<\/p>\n
September\u2019s Pennsylvania fall lasts longer<\/p>\n
than any other state.<\/p>\n
Unusually dynamic, scenic forests with<\/p>\n
variable weather conditions exist. Eastern or<\/p>\n
Western Pennsylvania has no cities or towns that begin with<\/p>\n
\u201cx.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet, geological<\/p>\n
zones and regions are generously scattered across the state.<\/p>\n
