Autumn Thoughts

Fall is the too sweet smell
of overripe fruit littering the ground
And the muskiness of fallen leaves

Fall is the vibrant color rainbow
Of overcast days and fall hues
Splashed red and yellow

Fall is the crisp air promise
Of nature’s indecision
Wind and sun caressing rosy cheeks

Fall is the child’s anticipation
Of candy and pumpkin pie
And Christmas around the corner

Fall is a collection
Of sweet, vibrant memories
Drifting in the crisp wind
