October - For Contest

Outside, the leaves are falling,
Carpeting my walk to school with new tactilities.
Treading the glorious kaleidoscope
Of crunching detritus, my 
Bulging eyes glisten as a hidden coin,
Exposed by my foraging feet, 
Reveals its hiding place.

It was my ( and my Mum's ) birthday; I was 6 and I'd been shoved outdoors to play; the coin I found paid the rent on our home for a week!
