Crisp fall air

Snapping twigs

Legs brushing past dancing leaves

Bathed in their autumnal glory

Stadium lights blaring down

Youthful athletes take their bow

Pride floats by in a parade

Making memories for life

Ghoulies and goblins biding their time

Clocks teeter backwards

Throwing us into grateful slumber

Ghosts of the season in a tick of time

Wind kicks up the mosaic

Swirls of red and yellow, green and brown

Paints a new picture farther down

Jumping into piles of brittle colors

Crisp fall air

Cherry pink cheeks

Sunshine or rain, windy or calm

Behold, Autumn’s glory!
