Fall.

Day by day I wait
Eager for fall
I would run outside
wrapped in a shawl
Leaves turn red
golden and gold
as it slowly starts
to get windy cold
The rustle of leaves
the swish of trees
The autumn has started to cease
I knew that
I wasn't steady
when I looked out
I said ' oh, it is winter already'.
