Still-Life Autumn

With hot coffee in hand, 
I am looking out my picture window. 
I see the autumn leaves being blown off the trees, 
beautiful leaves in colors of red, gold and orange.  
 
Time to leave for work, 
out the door I must run. 
I am running over a beautiful carpet, 
a carpet made from the falling autumn leaves. 
 
Crush~crush I hear, 
the falling leaves beneath my purple shoes. 
Into my car I must go, 
as the frisky squirrels run up a big oak tree.  
 
Autumn when the days turn cool and beautiful, 
I know winter will soon be here.
