Bright holly berries and maple leaves
Squirrels collecting their nuts and seeds
Rosy cheeks on a frosty day as children wrap up warm and play
Orange leaves of the sturdy oak
Toasty soldiers in a runny yolk
The toothy grin of a pumpkin ghoul and glowing embers as the bonfire cools
The yellowing fall of the sycamore tree
The last of the wasp and the bumble bee
The weakening sun as it slips from the sky as the moon takes its place to watch from on high
The ivy, a home for the birds and the bugs
Thick pea soup in oversized mugs
The grass remains green but enters its slumber, whilst the fir trees stand guard over all lying under
There's an icy blue to the autumn sky
And the stream is now hurried as it rushes on by
Fires are lit and we turn back the clocks, but violas and pansies stand proud in their pots
As the fern turns to bracken all crispy and brown
The acorns and chestnuts all fall to the ground
And whilst stars prick their holes in an inky black sky, the first frost of autumn waves summer goodbye
