Autumn
Autumn is spreading, rearing its head
The trees are each turning to yellow and red
Rainbow leaves whisper, they rustle and crack
The wind smells of chimneys with smoke in their stacks
Pumpkins make faces on every doorstep
Sweaters buttoned and boots all strapped
Small children frolic in costume and mask
To gather up candy and fill up their sacks
The daylight shrinks and night takes its hold
The ghouls play tricks and you may get trolled
No matter how old or what mask you wear,
There's magic alive in the crisp autumn air!

I love the poem, Tanzen...makes me feel so warm. I am an October child, by the way.

What a fantastic poem! The last two lines are my favorite. They wrap up, so nicely, everything you've conveyed in the poem. Lovely! I read it like five times now!
