Autumn
Burnt umber tumbles down in swirls
Gold is not hard to come by
It paints the edges of clouds in the sky
And whispered end of summer promise unfurls
Crimson paints flowers and twirls
On grass in leaves that die
To keep the seasons from going awry
And sweeps through crisp air in whirls
Wind smells of petrichor
Dirt is wetter
The crisp of tree limbs surround
Cinnamon and Apple treats we adore
Orange and cloves on the stove simmer
We have harvest abound
