In The Autumn
In the autumn leaves turn gold,
In the autumn leaves turn gold,
weather's brisk, bonfires bold.
Pumpkins, mums and apple pie,
food so good you'll wanna cry.
In the autumn we are told,
Dress warmly, it's getting cold.
Have a happy day!
In the autumn we are told,
Dress warmly, it's getting cold.
Have a happy day!
Oh brilliant, wonderfully done!
ReplyDeleteThe crispness of your words were great! Stopping by from SC
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite season, love the colors and the air carries the scent of the fallen leaves, of the bonfires - and yes, of decay.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's something wrong with me, that I like the smells of Fall?
Great poem!
Pumpkin pie!! I know I can make that any time of the year but I always wait for autumn.

ReplyDeleteYep...everything I love about autumn! Especially breaking out the cold weather clothes. Sigh. It's cool today but we invariably have a bout of Indian summer which is always practically unbearable! Loved your lyrics, btw.

Great job! You should write jingles for a living. You do know I am going to have this stuck in my head all day now right?

Such great words. We have been getting some fall weather the last couple of week and I love it. Your centus really brings the feeling of autumn.
ReplyDeleteYou are a poet! Did you know it?
ReplyDeleteLOL Obviously I am not. You did great!

Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery well done! I thought this was a hard prompt, but you certainly rose to the occasion. Happy Fall. laurie @ Battling My Inner Critic
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job with that....I'll have to check out that site...it looks like a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday! dana
I love it! Next time you need to have a sound bite of you singing your wonderful creation!
ReplyDeleteIt's starting to feel a little like autumn here- chilly nights and a pumpkin sitting on my kitchen table. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the first two lines of your poem best.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can rewrite it to better fit the song by having these two lines repeat at the end. Write something very good for the middle.
Think about rhythm and rhyme.
Best wishes,
Anna
