FALL

A crimson red blanket
Orange, yellow and brown
The leaves indiscreetly 
Now fall  to the ground.

The air is so crisp
We welcome daylight
The smell of the pine trees
The morning sunlight.

Jackets are worn
Boots, jeans and hats
A lone figure appears 
It’s a small, stray, black cat.

The change of the seasons
Fall is my favorite
I take a deep breath
In an effort to savor it.

The majestic view
The mountains and streams
The sun on the meadow
The perfect fall scene.

Acorns and chestnuts
Pumpkins and gourds
Hot apple pie
Campfires and s’mores. 

A cup of hot cider
A donut or two
So glad that I’m spending
This day, here with you.
