The Wonders of Fall


Coloured leaves on the trees
Slightly stir in gentle breeze
Some are floating to the ground


Rain droplets on the wood
Collect where planters once stood
Making little puddles now

Squirrels run along the fence
Going quickly hence to thence
Little chucks puffed out with food


Chickadees and sparrows come
To eat at their feeder home
Soon to migrate far away


Sombre skies give way to blue
And night skies are clearer too
Wonderful, mystical fall!
