Autumn Treasures
Leaves are swirling,
twirling, spiraling down,
Leisurely, silently, to the
ground.
Trees are dressed in
shades so bold,
With amber, scarlet, or-
ange and gold.
Bushy-tailed friends are as busy as can be.
Geese honk overhead as they fly in a ‘V’.
To an orchard a tractor leads the way,
While children and parents relax in hay.
Tall cornstalks dry in whispering winds.
Hot cider is enjoyed with family and friends.
Nuts are gathered from the nourished earth.
Signs of the season show autumn’s worth.
