Changes
Ripe fruit hangs heavily
Touched by early frost
soon this friut will be lost
falling to the barren ground below
Rustling wind will catch the leaves
scattering them to and fro
The trees will become barren
and the greenery will fade away
Birds get ready to flock south
before winter arrives
Flower droop their heads heavily
the blossoms already touched by frost
Rabbits fur changes from brown to white
Wild animals begin to get a winter coat
Squirrels busily gather nuts and seeds
storing food for long winter days
The harvest now complete
The fields bare for the oncoming year
Winter will soon appear on the land.
as fall fades into the past
