Let It Fall
This weekend, as I took a jaunty stroll in the park with trusty hound dancing at my feet, it was hard not to notice the changing seasons. A thick carpet of golden hues crunched underfoot, children collected conkers, acorns rolled along the roots of ancient oaks, squirrels chased the errant acorns and the hound chased the squirrels. Wait, that was someone else's ill-behaved four-legged friend. Anyway, I just wanted to say....
Autumn or Fall - whatever your name is, I am glad you came...
You make me want
To raise my hands, run carefree,
Through avenues of ancient trees
And wide-open spaces
And your crisp fallen leaves
Always brings forth the wondrous
Sound of children's laughter
And I love snuggling
On a picnic rug in the cold, cold air
Or in my favourite chair
You remind me that
Pumpkins, Halloween,
And Christmas,
Are all just
Around the corner...
And I do like that
A lot...
LOVE
AUTUMN
LET
IT
FALL

Thank you for the lovely reminder of autumn.
however, I don't like the cold,rainy weather. yes, the leaf changing is beautiful, but enjoy them more being green and attached to a tree :D

Fall makes me want to be cold so I can get warm. To bake things and share. I might share your poem w/my class as a prompt for a writing assignment. :)
