Russet, red, orange, and gold
Waving gently in the wind
Swirling and dancing
To the music of their own making
*
Laying in piles
Heaped up in drifts
Crunching underfoot
Rustling and whispering in the breeze
*
Children jumping into mounds.
Adults raking up for collection
Into big black trash bags for mulch
Some just burn where they lay
*
Russet, red, orange, and gold
Fluttering in the breeze
Waltzing on an invisible zephyr
With a beat all their own
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Russet, red, orange, and gold
Harvest time and Halloween
Crisp, cool Autumn nights
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Smells pervade the air.
Halloween and Harvest time
Apple and pumpkin
