Autumn hills rolling
Like big bright bowls of Fruit Loops
Colorful and sweet.

Lone Sugar Maple
Exploding blaze orange color
Brightens a grey day.

Fall geese migration
Huge flocks heading south honking
Farewell until spring.

Autumn leaves drifting
Like golden thoughts carrying good
Dreams throughout the day.

Autumn afternoon
Aroma of burning leaves
Memories so dear.

Pumpkin carving time
Scooping out stringy innards
Goopy slimy fun.
