One Autumn Day

We walk on a crisp carpet of withered leaves Purple, lilac and pink heather paints the hillside The yellow gorse bushes emits a fiery golden glow Vicious brambles protect their delicious fruit We fight against them to pick their prized berries Our fingers are stained purple with the blood of their juice Then we hurry home to make a delicious pie 09~11~14 Contest: One Autumn Day (in just 7 lines) Sponsored by Poet destroyer A ~awarded 4th place~
