Tom Cunningham Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written on the fourth of October 2026

 

Autumn Beauty In 12 Lines Poetry Contest - Sponsored By Tania Kitchin

Autumn Season

The wind blows leaves from the trees,
creating large mounds on the ground.
Fluttering down quietly without a sound, 
some reds and golds dance in the breeze.

Row on row in the fields are pumpkins,
they'll be carved and put on display.
Beware ghouls will be coming your way,
have treats on hand for the munchkins.

High up in the cloudless autumn sky,
the harvest moon shines so bright.
Through the skeletal branches at night,
are eerie silhouettes that catch your eye.

Bj Legros Kelley October 4, 2026 at 5:38 PM Oooh, cute!! I love this :) I just picked up some fun decorations for the autumn season, saguaros do not have fall colors, nor do our paloverde trees, so I decorate and LOVE pumpkins, though mine did not grow this year :(, I do not understand why, the plants grew, but no pumpkins! My husband planted seeds from a pumpkin from last year, a disappointing experiment! I love your poem Tom, so fun!!

Enjoy the coming week. Tom🌹
