FALL
IN A PICTURE FRAME
Schools
re-open, buses running,
Children
dressed, then eat and run,
Classrooms
buzz with summer’s stories,
Where
sounds of life abound,
And
old and new friendships are found.
The
football takes its place in flight,
In
wingless rush of crispy air.
Pompoms
waving, bands a’playing,
For
soldiers strangely dressed –
A
place in history addressed.
Little
devils and small angels,
Superman
and Robin Hood,
Stupid,
funny, awesome creatures,
Set
a scary festive scene
For
a lively Halloween.
Families
gather all together
To
grandmother’s house we go.
A
time for glad remembrance sharing;
Then
eat 'til we’re stuffed and to say
Our
blessings on – Thanksgiving Day.
Golden
leaves upon the landscape,
Flocks
of birds migrating south,
Pumpkins
plump and ripened corn,
Are
signs and wonders of a season
Readyin’
for the time of freezin’.
