The Season of Fall

By Cynthia Dehn

The trees paint the scenery with their many bright colors

Leaves fall off their branches, leaving the trees bare but, 

The leaves dance as they float gracefully in the cool breeze.

The temperature that used to be hot and humid has now calmed down, 

And it is now cool with an autumn breeze.

The animals scurry, gathering food for hibernation but 

Still, they have time to play before they have to sleep all winter long.

Some people will miss them as they sleep,

We take this season to take the time to watch and enjoy their presence.

This is what happens in the fall.

This is the time that nature begins to calm down from the playful summer.

Autumn is also when we get ready for the sleepy winter.

It is the time to harvest food so we can get to grow more in the blissful spring.

But it is not time for the food to blossom it is time to eat and make food.

Fall is the time of calming and harvesting.

Many people love the fall season for the fashionable sweaters, 

And the lovely, fearful haunted houses.

The calm hayrides and picking out pumpkins for jack o’ lanterns. 

This season is filled with fun holidays like Thanksgiving and Halloween. 

There are many ways to enjoy this beautiful and fun fall.
