Autumn

Autumn Leaves,
Red, Orange, Yellow,
Blue Sky,
Puffy marshmallows.

Glowing fire,
Cozy chair,
Running deer,
Stomping bear.

Whistling wind,
Running stream,
Thunder clouds,
Glowing moonbeam.

Smells of wet leaves,
Filling my nose,
Thanksgiving Parties,
With dresses and bows.

Gushy pumpking pie,
With a light, flaky crust,
Playing Monopoly with my cousin,
My cousin, I bust.

The mushiness of the pumpkin insides,
Scraping out hollow,
Then out, trick-or-treating,
Like a ghost, my friends I follow.

Autumn is the season,
Of leaves and fire and wind,
Of leafless trees and wet leaves,
And of every time you ever grinned.
