Autumn Sketches

August’s final countdown

School campuses alive

Summer’s vanishing breath

Autumn’s changes soon arrive

 

Dog days’ final heatwave

Students receiving books

Life’s transitioning steps

Autumn paints nature’s crisp look

 

Calendar page now turns

Summer’s final footsteps

Cooler weather ahead

Autumn’s leaf-colored doorsteps

 

Landscape’s pace quiets down

While football fans cheer on

Rustling of drying leaves

Autumn sketches, far from gone

 

Timeless journey transcends

Harvest complete, fields bare

Classrooms find their rhythm

Autumn’s presence everywhere
