Autumn

A road like brown ribbon
A sky that is blue
A forest of green
With that sky peeping through.
Asters, deep purple,
A grasshopper's call,
Today it is summer,
Tomorrow is fall.

Seasons

I'm glad I live
Where seasons change -
I like my world
To rearrange.

A little elf
Sat in a tree
Painting leaves
To throw at me.

Leaves of yellow
And leaves of red
Came tumbling down
About my head.

I Love Fall

I love fall!
Fall is exciting.
It's apples and cider.
It's an airborne spider.
It's pumpkins in bins.
It's burrs on dog's chins.
It's wind blowing leaves.
It's chilly red knees.
It's nuts on the ground.
It's a crisp dry sound.
It's green leaves turning
And the smell of them burning
It's clouds in the sky.
It's fall. That's why...
I love fall.
Pumpkins
September

The breezes taste of apple peel.
The air is full of smells to feel
Ripe fruit, old footballs, burning brush,
New books, erasers, chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive well-honeyed, hums
And Mother cuts chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean with suds, the days
Are polished with a morning haze.
