Wonders of Autumn

Autumn Wonders
By Lisa Noe

Colorful and crisp, red, orange and rust
Smokey smells and a thick breezy dust
Autumn leaves fall from a darkened sky
Leaves falling like rain on mountains high

Pumpkins, fadershalks, and bails of hay
Decorate houses through Halloween day
When the night falls a howl is heard
Those not scared are absurd

Kiddies running to and fro
All the neighbors on the go
Witches, Goblins, and the ole black cat
Makes me cringe right where I’m at

Old Hallows Eve is a night of fright
If you’re not careful it will take your sight
burning embers in the woods and hills
Where so many maniacs hide and jump out to kill

The Autumn colors start it all
Signaling the start to fall
Beauty fills this world all around
And I love the leave’s crackling sound.
