Autumn Whispers

The roar of the school bus
and excitement of Pep rallies,

Friday night football
in the chilly night air 

nips at naked necks and fingertips
as Autumn whispers

Promises of
Kaleidoscope leaves

which Dance and fall
A carpet of fall colors

reds, yellows, and browns
Crunching under feet

Autumn delights
With hopes of

Pumpkin patches
Fall festivities

And haunted houses
Costumes and trick-or-treat

Autumn teases
of her abundance

with the taste of crisp,
Spiced apple cider

Smells of aromatic cinnamon and
Of course, pumpkin spice

Let’s not forget
a cup of frothy hot chocolate

With the giant puffed marshmallows
Listen closely and you’ll hear

the low whispering of Autumn
in the swaying trees of a September wind
