All the leaves are dancing swirling down
Undulating in the breeze round and round
Tumbling rumblings underground
Urgently creatures searching for their stores underground.
Mists in the mornings, chilly nights soon be fireworks after Halloween frights!
New seasons Harvest Moon, witches and pumpkin men will be here soon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun’s heat is waning and the nights are drawing in
Chilly winds are swooping round corners and whipping up the leaves
Early morning porridge, make sure you wrap up the cold will nip your skin.
Summer sadly has taken her up her shoes and left us the dark mornings to grieve.
Ready for the harvest ready for shorter days
Time to get out your winter coats and your furry boots
The long and lazy days of summer have vanished in a haze.
Cars driving with their lights on early, listen out for their warning toots!

Ha! This is so good Willow – upbeat and yet very descriptive of the darkness coming. I love this time of year, like getting snuggled in front of the fire. I think it brings people closer. Thank You.

Yes for all it’s cold and damp there is something very warming about Autumn.

That’s autumn, alright. Pretty and colorful but cold as i.c.e. 😀

I do enjoy thinking of leaves dancing, Willow. These two packed withimagery, the first as if with my heart and the second with my body. Thank you…gorgeous!

Lovely Willow. Sums up the lovely and not so lovely (to me anyway) like the early darkness.
Oct 03, 2014 @ 07:02:34
Yes Autumn is an ambiguous season with it’s pros and cons. I know all seasons have these but some how Autumn more so than the rest. 😉

Great post! I’m excited for winter. It’s my favorite season. I could do without the fog though.
Oct 03, 2014 @ 08:07:48
Thank you yes Autumn and Winter are cosy months.With Halloween and Christmas to look forward to. 🙂
Oct 03, 2014 @ 09:44:01
Absolutely. Halloween is my favorite holiday. Wait!!! Is Halloween considered a holiday? Hmmm, oh well, I love dressing up in crazy costumes and going all out. Christmas for me is hot chocolate and marshmallows snuggled up in front of the fireplace. Ahhhh. Can’t wait! 😄

Halloween has in recent years become more popular over here in the UK. There are parties and children and young people dressed roaming the streets for trick or treat. Then of course Christmas a lovely family time .. yes Hot chocolate by the fire sounds delightful!!

Oooooh, don’t forget turkey day. (Thanksgiving) I love that day, and the day after, and the day after that. Oh my goodness. It’s such a yummy 3 days. I say 3 days because after that I’m all turkeyed out. Darn, I just made myself really hungry. Hahaha
Oct 04, 2014 @ 15:25:13
You made me hungry too! Sorry I should of remembered Thanks giving, we don’t have it over here ( well the Americans over here do!) so please forgive me!
Oct 04, 2014 @ 19:34:43
Awww, I’m sorry. I forget also. I guess I’m just so accustomed to the American way that I don’t realize not everybody celebrates. Now in the one who needs to be forgiven.

You make Autumn sound so mysterious, Willow! Beautifully written, though I am already counting the days until Summer returns. 🙂
Oct 05, 2014 @ 06:25:43
I do think Autumn is mysterious with her mists falling leaves and early nights. Lots of cosy evenings in .
