Autumn Woods

On my walk through the Autumn woods, I hear the cracking crunch of leaves. And whistling through the bare branches, brisk breezes shriek like a banshee. A chatty squirrel barks and squeaks on my walk through the Autumn woods. And as dusk dims, I hear an owl, hooting lowly in the distance. A woodpecker's tap, tap, tapping echoes off a hollowed-out log. On my walk through the Autumn woods, Nature's natural sounds abound. A chattering chipmunk scolds me in a loud barrage of shrill chirps. And I hear a gnarled old oak groan, on my walk through the Autumn woods.

Thanks for sharing this, making me vicariously experience the delight of strolling through the "Autumn Woods" since I haven't actually encountered such in my "Autumnless" country. Thanks, too, for exemplifying what your contest requires. God bless you.

Onomatopoeia Yes, that came right to my mind as I was reading this and I had not even seen what you wrote at the top yet. Great idea for your contest, Emile, and I really appreciate my autumn poem making the winner list.
