Fall has struck
With a resounding bell
And oh....
How it doth make my heart swell
The cold of the day
The chill of the night
The trees turning color
Is Autumn’s delight
Every summer I long to feel
The cold tendrils in my hair
Or sharing body heat
Deep within our lair
There is no doubt
This is my favorite time
For I have wrote about it
Line after line
I never get tired of
The darkened grey skies
No matter how depressing
To not actually see the sun rise
All Hallows Eve
Is just around the corner
Full of spirits and ghouls
Which makes me ponder
On life’s great existence
On all life’s fun
I want to jump in a pile of dried leaves
After a short run
The smell of decay
Lingers in the air
But it is an aromatic scent
A potpourri fanfare
Yet the worst will come
Winter at its best
Eventual it will creep in
This I can attest
So enjoy Autumn
While you can
For before long
It will be Christmas yet again
And people will be filled
With Greed and Kindness
And all the stores
Will become pockets of stress
But that is far away
For now it is Fall
And I will enjoy this season
For I am Autumn’s thrall.
