Autumn Afternoon

Cobblestone streets festooned with leaves Implore many to wear cashmere sleeves. Cooling winds breath their sigh Aiding geese south as they fly. Sunbeams pour like champagne Coloring the deciduous autumn domain; Sparkling hues of yellow and red Hover softly above the head. Leaves of maple, gold in tone Fall only when, the wind has blown. Delicate the stems that held the blade Raw from the sudden and windy raid. Acorn street now with leaves abound; Colorful gems all over the ground. Red brick houses adorn this block With beautiful doors welcoming knocks. Autumn afternoons are colored with reverie To be lived within the season’s boundary. Imbuing the soul with an ephemeral glee Life will be hard when glee goes free.
