Autumn is
The time of year
For many things.
Autumn is…
The time of year
Full of wonders and spooks
In a darkened corn field maze.
Autumn is…
The time of year
Where girly calico, kindly serious tabbies
And immature boyish orange cats
Chase after falling leaves in
A colorfully noisy motley of life.
Autumn is…
The time of year
For dessert lovers to rejoice
And cheer about
Candy corns, nutty caramel apples, funnel cakes
And uniquely deep fried sweets.
Autumn is…
The time of year
For decorating and celebrating
A cycle of life and death.
Autumn is…
The time of year
To dress up as a hero
Or maybe as a villain
To earn prizes and sweets
From door to door conquests
And plentiful parties.
Autumn is…
The time of year
To tell scary stories of
Ghosts, vampires and werewolves
Falling in a loving hatred with humans and witches.
Autumn is…
The time of year
For schooling and learning to be done
And for the results to be shown
Upon grading pop quizzes and tests
Before the finals come up in winter.
Autumn is…
The time of year
To remember multiple stories and lessons
About reflection and wishful dreams.
