Autumn

A coolness in the air lets us know that winter is near

Crisp fresh air, changing leaves, earlier sunsets

All symbols of the passing summer season

What was once a tall robust green tree

Is now a statue of bright red and orange beauty

Grass growing ever so slowly now preparing for winter

Squirrels gathering their harvest of nuts and seeds

Children dressing more warmly, and dew soaking the earth

It's quite amazing to see how living things change so much

Fall is peaceful compared to the summer that just passed

The first frost of the season brings a bountiful harvest

Apples, grapes, squash, and pumpkins, have to be picked

Before too much longer the ground will be white with snow

Autumn, one of the most colorful seasons known to mankind

It is at this time that I have the most satisfaction

I can sit for hours looking at trees and watch as they change

Fresh autumn air brings with it fresh new thoughts and ideas

I think of all four seasons I enjoy autumn the best
