I love autumn, all the bright colours on thee trees, squirrels burying their store of nuts.  Days get shorter and night are longer, bright colours dawns and sunsets too!

Start of Autumn

With September rumblings
autumn`s now on its way

warmth slowly leaving the sun
cold blue skies here to stay

shorter day and longer night

colourful dawns and sunset hues

and weather is unpredictable

time to find waterproof shoes

bright colours on the trees
they`re changing their attire
orange, reds and yellows
warm summer can now retire

crunchiness felt under foot
and a strong bite in the air
wrap up now and stay warm
the season's changing, take care

September's a great month
and marks a change in the year
Mother Nature shares her bounty
for winter will soon be here..
