The Excitement I Hold For Fall

Yesterday I saw a leaf or two fall to the ground                                                             Today while walking I heard a crunching sound    
Looking up I saw some leaves had turned yellow                                                                                 The middle of August and temperatures are mellow     

I'm getting so excited because it's almost September                                                               I've been this way about fall as long as I can remember                                Tomorrow I'll go shopping for apples and sweet cider                                                          The store clerk laughs and couldn't be more snider 

Apples I got plenty, but aren't you rushing the fall season  
 Summer's not even over yet so what is your reason                                                               So I tell him, not feeling the slightest bit of shame                                     September is my favorite month and the trees feel the same

This is a lovely poem Eileen. Your love and anticipation of the glory to come shines throughout the poem. I love that last line, ‘September is my favourite month and the trees feel the same.’, So enjoyed reading it. Have a wonderful autumn :)
