An Autumn Sonnet
October 8, 2019
The rich, warm hues of autumn’s many leaves
Compensate for the new crisp and cold air
Dozens of them drop at the lightest breeze
Red, orange, and gold colors give them great flair
The sweltering day of summer are o’er
Giving way to a brisk and bracing feel
A warning of winter not to ignore
But the weather remaining even-keel
The children walk to school in the morning
Their parents leading the way beside them
The vibrant colors around adorning
The stroll to the building of ceaseless mayhem
But this season’s not just focused on work
Catch the falling leaves! Jump in a leaf pile!
Halloween celebrations are a perk
Thanksgiving will bring a gratified smile
Autumn’s chilly charm bewitching to see
As fall’s crinkly leaves are blown from a tree
