Autumn

*First Day of School! First Day of School!*

*This also inspired a similar poem, which I will post later today, when I’m not in class*

Writing Challenge: April 9, 2017

Prompt: Write about your favorite Season

Autumn puts me in a cheery, magical frame of mind. The warm colors of the leaves against the cool grays and silvers of overcast sky bring a lightness to my heart and a smile to my lips. I want to skip and dance in the brisk air. I want to wrap myself in a warm blanket with a cup of coffee or tea and a good book by a roaring fire. I want to watch the wind blow the colorful leaves across the ground, listen to trees sway and the birds call, smell the moist air, and watch as the holidays approach. I want to gather fruits and vegetables of the summer growing season and cook them into delicious, hardy meals. I want to spend time with family and friends in the unique magic of the closing season. There is something special about autumn; the joy and anticipation, the relaxation, and excitement it brings that I cannot help but to love.
