Autumn Woods

As I stroll through the Autumn woods
I hear the cracking crunch of leaves.
And whistling through the bare branches
a brisk breeze, shrieks like a banshee.

A chatty squirrel barks and squeaks
as I stroll through the Autumn woods.
And when dusk dims, I hear an owl
hooting lowly in the distance.

A lone woodpecker's tap-tapping
echoes off an old rotten log.
As I stroll through the Autumn woods,
I'm greeted by natural sounds.

A chattering chipmunk scolds me
in a loud barrage of shrill chirps.
And I can hear a gnarled oak groan
as I stroll through the Autumn woods.
