Delicious Light and Shade

Finished fragrance falling off the autumn trees
Shorter days and darker sun in harvest sprees 

Green leaves are red brown and yellow
Children get in yellow buses to their school
Our shirts are long sleeved and time cool
The September sun is romantically mellow
A box of pumpkin pie underneath your pillow
Laughing children in the swimming pool


Seeds fall off the trees
Greetings for new guests in spring
Light and shade chat in your face
Season to let go
To feel life too is like leaves
Days in outspread wings in blue

Really nice Probir! My favorite line, "A box of pumpkin pie underneath your pillow" I also like the alliteration in the opening line. Nice touch. Good luck in contest:)
