How One Knows Autumn Is Here
You’ll see the leaves turn bright colors.
Bright shades of red, orange and yellow reflect on the water.
You won’t see the different hues of green.
The colorful flowers will all wilt and brown.
You’ll wear your favorite sweater.
The air is cool and soon the water will be frozen.
You won’t be wearing shorts outside.
All the summer clothes are packed away until the world warms up again.
You’ll watch scary movies.
In the dark and cuddled under blankets, you can’t help but scream.
You’ll visit an apple orchard.
Fill your tummy with doughnuts and cider.
You’ll snuggle up with your favorite someone.
Happy and content with the “cuddle weather.”
You won’t be so happy once the warmth slips away,
when Autumn is ending and the snow starts falling
when the frost sneaks in and chills you to your core.
