Thoughts of Autumn


Thoughts of Autumn

Dainty spiderwebs glistening with dew
Weathered corn shocks waving in the breeze
Piles of leaves littering the walkways and roads
Fat, orange pumpkins all aglow
Apple trees heavy with fruit
Hay bales dotting the field
Harvest moon hanging high in the sky
Chrysanthemums nodding their multicolored heads
Scarecrows lining the city lamp posts
Yellowing tobacco hanging in the barn
A kaleidoscope of leaves as trees prepare to rest
Frost asters and goldenrod brigthening the fields
The smell of firewood on the air
Ooey, gooey carmel apples
The early hint of twilight
