Autumn whispers secrets of those who have gone before
Amber, Auburn pirouetting leaves... scarlet, saffron
Falling tree debris... bright fire rain, russet, sanguine tones
Crispy crunchy, staccato steps... symphony’s cyclone
Squirrels hoard buried treasure troves… forest tree pantries
Kaleidoscope... leafed-fairy wings, waltz upon the breeze
Bare, skeletal trees disrobed... in moonlit shadows moan
Schoolyard conkers, hibernating hedgehogs... snuggly homes
Decorations, weeping willow tears… Ole Hallows’ Eve
Witches, skeletons, vampires, ghosts... children cloaked in glee
Families enjoy traditions… ancient festivals
Priceless moments shared... magic, mystery, fun-filled awe
Foggy, frosty Fall’s stark morns… home-baked blackberry pies
Pumpkin spice, treacle toffee… trick-or-treat candy smiles
Rosy cheeks, woollen hats and scarves… searching for lost gloves
Cold hands warmed, by dear loved one’s breath… cosy blanket hugs
Firework spectacular skies... Catherine Wheel lit-eyes.
Neighbours encircled, stacked bonfires... enkindled, hailed cries
Guy Fawkes’ eerie effigy... consumed by leaping flames
Glowing hearts, red toffee apples... sparklers signing names
Days drew in... darker dawns, velvet nights; hearth glowed ablaze!
Starry bedtime stories... loving pooch, Pearl’s faithful ways
Making pom-poms, pies, knitting... singing Oklahoma
Autumnal yesterday’s shades of you... Dearest Grandma
