Autumn Leaves

William Upton 2008 (Birmingham)

Free verse
Autumn Leaves
By William Upton


Autumn trees and fall breeze
Pumpkin spice and apple pie
All wonderous things
But my favorite
Is the Autumn Leaves

In the trees leaves of gold
3 different colors all so bold
Brown, Orange, Yellow
Blending the meadow
Making the world look better

The leaves are a wonder
From here and yonder
Beautiful and unique
The crunch under your feet
Covering the street

I wish the leaves could stay
But Autumn Leaves don't last
Cause winter comes fast
all the leaves covered in snow
so enjoy the leaves before they go
