Analysis of Fall



Change directions
You silly bird
Going north
When your brothers are south

The wind whirls past the trees
They hear the snow calling
‘Drop your leaves
Silly trees’
The whirling wind knows all

Pumpkin pie
Put it on rye
The smoke from the fire
Wafts into my eye

But it’s the crisp air
From the woods
Crunching through the leaves
Wafting the kids into their piles

That’s what love is in the fall
