Fall

Fall
Crisp clear mornings
Afternoons warmed by the sun
Yellow mums and graceful sunflowers
Leaf piles full of fun

Apple cider and jack-o- lanterns
Little ghosts in shadows lurk
Hay bales and dried cornstalks
Put scarecrows out of work

Camp fires and haunted hayrides
Burnt marshmallows on long sticks
Squirrels scampering to hide acorns
Ripe apples to be picked

Smoke plumes from tall chimneys
Amber logs in fireplaces glow
Trees shed their colorful outfits
North winds begin to blow

Sidewalks glisten with ice crystals
 frosty-blankets spread across lawns
Birds gather at neighborhood feeders
sleepy bears begin to yawn

Mother Nature gives her signal 
As she paints the sunsets red
Time for moon and starlit nights
To put the earth to bed
