Autumn is when the leaves






Autumn is when the leaves go red
and fill themselves with holes
and drip out all their greenness
into mucky forest puddles.

Autumn is when the leaves fly off
and leave the trees standing bare
and Summer sends a postcard
from its holiday in warmer air.

Autumn is when the leaves just wait
and stay on trees alone
and the forest goes black and white behind
because Winter’s coming home.

Autumn is when the leaves get blown
by winds and coated in frost.
And isn’t Autumn a bit like Spring?
(Although their paths have never crossed…)
