Autumn is Approaching

A quivering happens 

Tossing a gust through the branches 

Making the tattered leaves turn slightly 

As days go on, they get paler

Rusty like orange, almost cherry like red

Even an occasional lemon like yellow after it’s ripe 

The smell of pumpkin and cinnamon wafts to your nose

Almost running into your brain

As if you can see it as well as smell it

Images of jack o lanterns and glittering apples

Bounce around in your skull

You beg for this change internally 

As it is quickly approaching 

We feel the buzz

Making our hands tingle
