Poetry Pleases: Autumn
Hazel Dracup's verses feature this mellow, colourful season.
Autumn when the leaves start falling from the trees,
Autumn when the wind is more than just a breeze,
Autumn with its colours, the different shades of red,
Autumn when it’s dark long before we go to bed.
Autumn when the shivers come slowly creeping in,
Autumn when it’s mild you really cannot win,
Autumn when the temperatures tell us what to wear,
Autumn when a snowfall can catch you unaware.
Autumn with the bonfires, and fireworks displays,
Autumn in America with Thanksgiving Days
Autumn when we think of those who’ve died in war,
Autumn when we can’t imagine the horrors these men saw.
Autumn with its features is a unique time of year,
Autumn prepares for winter telling us it’s near,
Autumn is part of a cycle as shown in days of old,
Autumn in all its glory is truly a sight to behold.
