Feel a touch of autumn

Riding on the breeze

Sense it in the shifting wind

See it in the trees.

Days are getting shorter

Gone, the warmth of June

Reaping time of harvest

Sun is setting soon.

Leaves alive, so merry

Dancing here and there

Rich with vibrant color

Twirling through the air.

Temperatures are falling

Morning brings a chill

Robins now departing

Summer time is nil.  

Squirrels see how they scamper

Quickly, they do flee

Picking up their acorns

Running up a tree.

Wooly worms are active

See them everywhere

Always in a hurry

Dressed in winter wear. 

Warmth is quickly leaving

Sultry days are few

Northern wind now ushers

Start of something new.

Feel a touch of autumn

Summer goes away

Swirling leaves of autumn

Now come out to play.
