Leaves in hues of flaxen yellow,
Russet and burnished gold,
All the Autumn colours
Nourishing my soul,
Crouching down among them
Breathe in their rich perfumes,
A delicious combination
Of damp moss and wild mushrooms.
Inhaling scents of woodsmoke,
Wafting through the haze,
Bonfires bring back memories
Of my childhood days.
Watch the leaves that flutter down
To pave the woodland way,
A chequered magic carpet
Brightening up the day.
Different shapes and sizes
Floating through the air,
A myriad of colours
Beauty everywhere .
Looking for some conkers
Such pleasure to be found
Nature's golden treasures
Lying on the ground.
The trees are so majestic
In their autumn clothes
One last glorious ballroom dance
Before it hails and snows
Towering like a cathedral
As far as you can see
It's getting dark and gloomy
Let's go home for tea.
