AUTUMN

School started after Labor day each year.

Sixteen calendar days away from Fall.

Leaves turned red, orange, brown and disappeared.

Recess time the children played dodgeball.

*

Pumpkins ready for Halloween and pies.

Apple butter, hot bread wafted in air.

School homework with evening stars in the sky.

A road trip to the Clearfield County fair.

*

Bleachers for the Ted Mack amateur hour.

A coat or sweater for football weather.

A time, when landscapes look, feel rather dour.

Always, memories that we treasure.

*

Autumn paints earth its own unique colors.

Years later a season for true lovers.
