When Autumn Chills

Feathered friends...enjoy the breeze 
On swaying branches...on barren trees 
When the summer days...begin to close 
Petals fall...from the sleeping rose
 
Weakened leaves...will shake and fall 
When autumns chills...make their call 
Mothers crafts...from broken sticks 
Nests are filled...with teen-age chicks

Spotted fawn...have lost their spots 
Lovers plan...to tie their knots 
When autumn chills...blue moon glows 
Out the door...summer goes
 
Her eyes will shine...and they'll still wink 
When autumns here...in just a blink 
September mornings...throughout the hills 
Beautiful days...when autumn chills
