Shakespeare's diction conveys the season by using words that appeal to the sense of sight. He uses words like bare, and yellow leaves, to show the season of autumn. When he uses words like those that automatically clicks in the readers mind that the season of fall is what is being written about.

>sonnet?
Fall resembles death. In fall everything dies and falls to the ground. Shakespeare uses it here to symbolize the death that takes place. Fall is a season where things come to an end and die, and so i think that Shakespeare was also talking about life and how we all come to a point where we die as well.>
