Autumn On the Wind

You can smell Autumn on the wind
as the leaves change from green
to yellow, red and orange
Eventually to fall to the ground 
for you to have to rake up

You rake the leaves into 
nice, big piles
You decide before you bag them
to have a little fun

You take a flying leap
straight into the middle of
the pile of your choosing 
sending leaves of every 
color in all directions 

It gives you more work 
as you rake up the mess you made
But you had fun in the moment 
On this cool Autumn day
