Autumn
Feeling inside soul of time and weather change
Colder weather arriving and autumn harvest,
Full natural growth and the autumnal equinox glows
Wonderful time for a football game, hometown competitions are best.
Gnomon of the sundial projects a shadow, Harvest Days are here
Garden full of ripe fruit, colors red, rust, orange, and yellow,
Autumn crops sun ripened grateful feelings, gratitude and thanks
Raised to Heaven where the LORD of the Harvest reigns with love mellow.
Thanksgiving Day family gathers together, golden baked turkey
Aroma fills the home, Norman Rockwell nostalgic real view,
American life fourth Thursday in November true, autumn foliage and maturity
Fall September, October, November, rich and soft dew.
Fully grown hemisphere, earth giving all fully developed,
State Fair displays 1,007 pound orange pumpkin brings
Great Pumpkin to new life, candy and chocolate bars to munch,
Rodeo cowboy ropes the calf in 5.9 seconds flat, hearing the banjo band strings.
Fully grown hemisphere, earth giving all fully developed,
Remembering State Fair, glib gladness now 31st October jack-o’-lantern fun,
Corn shocks in the field and candy in the pocket sweet flavor
Rodeo time, cowboy ropes calf quickly, hands in air and won!
