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

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

weather`s unpredictable

time to find waterproof shoes

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

it`s like another world
low lying misty mornings
everything is shrouded
sending winter warnings

crunchiness under foot
and a bite in the air
wrap up now and stay warm
it`s time to take good care

September's a great month
marks a change in the year
for earth start to sleep
as winter will soon be here..
