Fall Is Here!

Amidst summer and winter, With a nip in the air, Making the days shorter and colder, Full of magnificent colors, Fall has arrived.

Brightly colored foliage, Shed from trees, Carpets the ground with orange hues, Enjoying the crunch of leaves under my feet, Smashing the fragile leaves into smithereens, Fall has arrived.

The whole world is resplendent with colors, With ubiquitous carpeting of leaves in orange, The round, orange pumpkins pop up everywhere, Drenched with the tradition, Of Halloween and Thanksgiving, Fall has arrived.

Embrace fall with apple, pumpkin, and corn, Carve pumpkins in the pumpkin patch, Pick up succulent apples from the orchard, Use corn in all sorts of fall decorations, Fall has arrived.

Migratory birds fly in flocks, Acorns drop from trees, Squirrels go nuts at their sight, Gathering and piling up the acorns, Fall has finally arrived.
