Autumn Is Here
Electricity is in the air
as the wind kiss skin and tease hair
and Red and Gold leaves float
to the ground
as the little squirrels scurry around
Autumn is here
Pumpkin patch field trips
as apples are dipped in candy
with caramel and buttered popcorn
and savory turkey legs at this year's state fair
laughing on
hay rides and carving pumpkins
while eating pumpkin pie
sitting near a bonfire as the smoke stings our eyes
Autumn is here.
Ghost tales whispered
and
marshmallows roasted
while sipping hot apple-cider
giving sweets to the sweeties knocking at our door
exclaiming "TRICK OR TREAT"
and
"MAY WE HAVE MORE"
Autumn is here.
Families gathered together
seated from great to least
with humble head's bowed
in blessed thanksgiving
as a kingly feast delight senses
and conjure up images of the next season
Autumn is here.
