When Summer's silent song is done
And Autumn air has now begun,
Rustic red leaves
Drop from the tall trees.
Bashful brown leaves
fluttering, flickering free
onto the grass so grubby green to be forgotten
where the leaves lie low and become rotten.
The tall trees try to hold on, but time ticks,
and the tiresome trees become sticks
silently sleeping until Spring has sprung
and Autumn arrives and comes around again.
When Winter is welcomed with wind and rain,
it won't be long until Spring has sprung again.
Changing From Summer To Autumn
Autumn
