Autumn

A pple pickers gaily riding in wagons, sipping cider along the way, headed for orchards, on a crisp, clear sunny day.

U mbrellas turned inside out when wily north winds blow, and sheets of rain, without refrain, follow all the way home.

T urning leaves of gold and crimson hues, ignite the woodlands and city parks, a spectacular, humbling view.

U mber swathes of color, spreading over marsh and field, extinguishing summers rainbow palette, bronzing acres without yield.

M ischievious squirrels scamper, hording acorns in winter nests and wooly bear  caterpillars journey to their rest.

N ight rises, dropping a charcoal veil, a choir of crickets chirping, in the chilly autumn air.
