Autumn

A poem to herald the new season

Autumn has comeWith leaves rusty brownAnd trees that are coveredWith a golden crown.

Carpeted floors,With a glorious crackle,And winds that laughWith an eerie cackle.

The rain and the windAnd a curtain of cloudCover the landIn an autumn shroud.

Summer birdsFly away homeTo where ever it isThat they go.

Summer is endingAnd autumn has come,All we can say is,"Bye, bye sun."
