Autumn Frolicking

The children are jumping in the leaves Last Autumn frolics before the cold They’ve rolled up their long sleeves, Overheated, they are sweaty, I’m told Covered with leaves, brown and gold. The coming rain will create a soggy pile No longer suitable for fun and game Children will prefer to dance with style, Indoors, until they are tired and lame, Preferring to watch the fireplace aflame.

It is so nice and it warms my heart to see children playing outside and enjoying themselves especially now with autumn and others with snowfall. Nicely written. Good luck in the contest. Many Blessings my friend

Thank you so much, Eve. I didn't write this for a contest. I was just listening to the kids yelling, playing in the leaves, and enjoying the warm weather.
