AUTUMN LEAVES
Blowing,
scattering in the wind
Flying
on the winds of change
Gathering
their memories of summer days
Green,
yellow, with their hints of blues
The
rich, rich colours to chase away the blues
Butterflies,
moths and damsel butterflies
Resting,
reposing and relaxing in the glorious hues
But
now this is autumn
Their
leaves now turned burnt red, orange colours
The
skies heavily laden with the autumn weather
Rain,
misty, foggy, cloudy and grey
The
nights are drawing in dark and black
The
land has been harvested
Crops
now all stored
The
butterflies have flown too
The
cuckoo, the swallow and swift have flown too
To
a warmer climate that suits their tunes
The
showy peacock still in full feathered bloom
Strutting
his feathers at the beautiful ladies
Who
are listening to his tune!
Yet
this is still a wonderful time of year!
There
are still flowers in bloom
The
hedgerows covered in the flowers of the blackberries
Soon
to be picked, pickled and jarred
Fruits
for all seasons
Spring,
summer, autumn and winter
The
season’s stores
