The Crunch of Leaves

Autumn

Is such a spectacular season

Pumpkins everywhere you go

Porches

Covered in gourds and jack-o-lanterns

A chill in the air

A scarf hiding your nose and smile

School back in session

Meaning peaceful days at parks

Not worrying about children clamoring and yelling

Pumpkin spice lattes

Warming hands and hearts

The smell of pumpkin spice

Always lingering in the air

Doesn't matter where you are

The smell is there

Or maybe

Cranberry apple

Not as frequent

But a strong contender

For autumn scents

Leaves

Are everywhere

Dancing to the ground

In your hair

On my leather jacket

Underneath your Doc Martens

Crunching with every step

That we take

Autumn

Is such a spectacular season

With so many trademarks

To its name

It's my favorite

It's the only season

That makes me stay
