Pale blue morning sky
Golden, copper, and bronze leaves
Crow spreads wings in flight

While the smaller tree is losing its leaves
The larger tree is still vibrant green
The grass hosts crumbled golden bits
Squirrels hunt for food to store
They grab the healthy leaves
Off the larger tree
To reinforce
Winter nests
From the
Wind

Keen eyes of the hawk
Flicker of morning lightning
A dead autumn leaf

Wings flash and flutter
Rustling vibrant autumn leaves
Squirrels search for nuts

Watching the seasons change
It won’t be much longer
Fall’s chill will be stronger
Cider tastes good
Pumpkins ready to pick
Those piles of colored leaves
Some catching in the eaves
Dogs tear them up
