It is blowing, it is getting cold <br />Birds are chirping, birds are resting! <br />The long sunny day is gone <br />replaced by the sudden onset of night! <br /> <br />Leaves from trees, fruits like apples, <br />peaches, berries and grapes fall down. <br />My beans and squash seem ready <br />to sleep and abort the budding of flowers. <br /> <br />The green colours turn golden and <br />cover the living soil and ground. <br />September, October and November, <br />the golden long autumn months <br />of fallen leaves from windy heights. <br />___________<br /><br />Elizabeth Padillo Olesen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/touch-of-autumn/
