A Hint of Red and Yellow
A hint of red and yellow
Amongst a sea of green
A sign that change is coming
To the forest canopies
This morn's air is slightly chilled
Much more than in past months
And squirrels scurry 'cross the ground
Collecting all their nuts
There are no children playing
Nor in the swimming pools
The streets are calm and quiet
For they've all gone back to school
Some have dug out their hoodies
And others long sleeve shirts
And some have traded off their shorts
For Pants and longer skirts
The corn too, has turned colors
From green to wilted brown
And bonfires are blossoming
Like ember flowers from the ground
Ciders and hot chocolate
And flavors of pumpkin spice
And the beers at Oktoberfest
Well, they Taste just as nice
The full moon rises larger
Signs of harvest in the air
And the deer become skittish
With bow season drawing near
The sky itself seems different
It's shades of grey and blue
And the sun that hides behind the clouds
Tells us fall will be here soon
