Gently falling leaves
A multi-colored splendor
Sunny September
A time of plenty
Squirrels busily storing nuts
Ears of corn to shuck
Shiny apples ripe
Mcintosh, empire, spry
Tartly sweet each bite
Crispness to the air
Perfect time for snuggling
Under blankets shared
Hot pumpkin donuts
Sipping spicy mulled cider
Warm crackling fires
...The signs of Autumn
