The changing of the seasons are my favorite times of the year. The changes reminds me why we’re alive and rejuvenates my senses, mind, body and soul. This is a fall list poem.

Fallen Leaves
summer’s last lingering bloom
October’s Harvest Moon
birds migrating south
carmel apples in my mouth
ruby red leaves
golden yellow leaves
orange leaves
racking together leaves
during the crisp eves
jumping in leaf piles
children’s autumn smiles
kids are all in cahoots
jeans, fleece jackets and leather boots
apple orchards & hot apple cider
beautiful web with a spider
lost in a cornfield maze
crisp clear night, a star gaze
Heritage Days
community yard sales
corn stalks and hay bales
first frost, crunchy ground
wind in the trees, rustling sound
no natural joy left unfound
crisp cool, smokey air
Bloomsburg Fair
Halloween candy, plenty to share
pretend monsters moans
shrieks and groans
people begin wearing jewel tones

Autumn Trees
cutting firewood
trick-or treating round the hood
candy corn
foggy morn
basket weaving
Halloween & Thanksgiving
Autumn is the season to live in!
nippy nose
chilly toes
jack o’lanterns & scarecrows
pumpkin seeds roasting
marshmallows toasting
costume making
pumpkin pie baking
apple butter, apple dumpling
pumpkin patch & pumpkin picking
spiced wafers & chrysanthemums
bobbing for apples in large wooden drums

Hubster & Pumpkin Leaf Peeping at PA Grand Canyon
witches, goblins and ghouls,
kettle cooked soup in bread bowls
pomegranates, cranberries, munch, munch
walnuts, almonds, chestnuts, crunch, crunch
