Autumn
Autumn leaves, one by one they come tumbling down
Twisting and turning like ballerinas all around
Perfectly landing on the ground
Shades of gold, orange and red can be found
Like a patched quilt, the leaves lay abound
Stepping on them, enjoying the crisp crackling sound
Then the icy breeze would elevate the leaves up high
Sweeping them swiftly through the blue hue sky
Passing the birds flying by
As they embark on their journey, to a warmer country they would fly
Scavenging through the leaves, insects and ants gather food on a heap
For deep down in a hole they would creep
Preparing themselves for the long hibernating sleep
As winter rains above them will weep
Until we feel the fresh spring breeze
All the animals come out of hibernating with ease
Basking in the summer sun
Until the trees start shedding its leaves again, then surely autumn has begun!
