Oh Fall, your stay is much too short
But while you’re here you gladden my
heart
Your fading colors will always be
Bright reds and oranges inside of me
The crisp tartness of each apple bite
Tingles my thirsting tongue’s delight
Each whirling dry leaf is there for me
To kick and crunch and just to see
Chrysanthemums and pumpkins bright
They shout to me, the time is right to
To soak up your colors and the sun
Before winter starts its interminable
run.
Oh, Fall, I love your unpredictable
ways
Of windy, hazy or sun-filled days.
