Autumn
Beauti-
ful places
filled with
happy faces;
Autumn has arrived.
The golden leaves fall
to the ground as ghosts and goblins
gather round on their way
home from parties at school.
A Jack 'O Lantern grins
As the night slowly falls.
All the trick or treaters
are out to have a ball.
As I walk in the cold night air,
I find a peace in the world
that is very rare.
A pumpkin pie bakes in the oven,
and apple cider warms on
the stove. The autumn wind
settles around me
and forms a private alcove.
The distant call of winter
gets closer every day. Soon,
my autumn will be gone,
and winter's silence
will take its
place.
Reason for writing:
I love the season, and I enjoy halloween a lot.
