Autumn
by Ben Fisher
Autumn leaves lay heaped on sodden ground, naked trees that tower above them bearing all.
Many colours mask the hillsides of browns, yellow and oranges like the setting sun.
Whispers of winter crisp in the air, birds flying east in uniform lines in the skies.
Changing of seasons brings the squirrels foraging for nuts for their hoard.
Calling pigeons and flocking crows ascending on rooftops and naked trees.
Trees keep on swaying to the rhythm of the breeze.
Not long now until the big freeze.
