Bright yellow sunflowers
Smiling, blooming
Dark, threatening rain
A menace in the distance;
Two squirrels run after each other,
Playing like children.
A spider captures its prey in its winding web
And devours it.
The sun peers out from behind the clouds like
A curious little girl.
She smiles a cheeky smile
And then hides again, behind the clouds.
A tree’s branches twist and wind like a meandering road,
Treacherous,
But an image of beauty.
Light-shimmer dust falls in swirls and twirls of magic
Upon brunette hair.
Warmth and cupcakes
She loves to bake,
Sweet smells wafting into her nose:
Cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin, caramel,
Apple pie,
Shortbread pie crust.
The wind carries the leaves
And they fall gently onto a soft bed of green lush
Perfectly.
Autumn
