As autumn winds begin to swirl,
and leaves dance upon the ground.
The air now has a cool crisp feel,
while the grass begins to brown.
The bounty from the summer crops,
are gathered in autumn's harvest.
Many times the harvest is celebrated,
with a banquet as it is blessed.
Daylight becomes a little shorter,
and at night there'll come a frost.
Now it's sweatshirt's and sweaters,
as the warm summers days are lost.
Schools have their football season,
with some spirit for competition.
Defending all the old time rivalries,
while upholding the old traditions.
As autumn burst out in color,
and the leaves and flowers dry.
Thanksgiving will soon arrive,
for now food's in great supply.
