Autumn Sonnet

Autumn Sonnet 
November 13, 2019 
 
When the leaves begin to fall fast you know 
That the weather will begin to get cold 
The wind will have gusts and the wind will blow 
Whether you’re young or even real old. 
The leaves turn colors like yellow and red 
The cold air freezes to ice on your brow 
You wish you could just stay warm in your bed 
But daylight lasts less so be busy now.  
Holidays come to many around us 
Some people lonely while some feel complete 
Parents realize their duty and fuss 
To make little ones kind to those they greet. 
We wish for the warmth of the coming spring 
The rebirth of nature’s beauty we sing.
