To: All
Autumn
Autumn is tapping on my door
Kaleidoscope crisp leaves
Float down from their summer holdings
Demanding attention from passing children
Who pick them up and kick them up
Autumn is teasing my nose
Fresh, cooling air
Gathering the drawing day
And presenting it as a golden sunset
That entertains my every sense
Autumn rattles against autumn
Shiny seeds removed from their spiny cases
Hang on strings
While would be conquerors
Compete in school yards
Autumn changes wardrobes
Summer styles now gone
Cotton replaced by wool
Blocking out a lazy wind
That tries to penetrate our defences
Autumn gathers bountiful delights
Harvest's festival of food
Gathered for celebration
Wheatsheaf loaves with golden mice
Celebrating Mother's nature
