Autumn Autumn, cloaked in scarlet, russet and bronze, Is a spendthrift who Flings gold across the landscape Steps proudly midst Harvest’s abundance. Caresses velvety peaches Plucks bushels of pears, plums and pomegranates Bites crisp, caramel apples Tastes tangy hot cider. Greets goblins at her door Hands out treats to pint-sized Jack-O-Lanterns While witches glide across the sky And cats meow on backyard fence. Cuddling under woolen blankets At Football’s festive frolic, She breathes a sigh of respite Between Summer’s blazing heat And Winter’s frozen chill. Autumn—the season of Harvest, The season of gratitude.
