Autumn
Autumn, It peeps over summers shoulders
Like a baby over its mothers when getting bolder
Then tip toes into your day when your tired
Unannounced not always desired
First a mild frost shows its might
To scrunch the leaves over night
Ideal for walking in when they fall
Crunchy underfoot, kids love to kick them all
The trees now have their colourful jackets on
Leaves Of yellows golds and reds upon
Berries of every hue the birds should know
Eat them too soon and hungry they will go
Autumn means the Canadian Geese come to stay
They know exactly where they want to spend their day
They squawk in the v formation in which they fly
Catches the eys of every passer bye
Autumn is the prelude to the full blown concerto of winter
Whose notes linger on the cold cold air
Sounds of laughter fill the air when families meet to skate
On the iced over ponds that the ducks now hate
Squirrels hoard the nuts to keep themselves alive
as they nestle in the hollow tree, trying hard to survive
Robins tweet their song so the gardener will hear,
To turn over some earth for the worms to appear
Smoking chimneys add to the scene
Can you imagine the warmth of the glow within
People happily sit around the fire so bright
Wrapped up warm, drink in hand settled for the night
