A Poem For Autumn

 

 

The time when the leaves change

Leads to the ever-known exchange.

The sun for the rain

A smile for disdain

 

For the heat never quite reaches it's peak

Before the autumn turns up to speak

It gets colder and colder

As the sun disappears over a shoulder

 

And yet the smiles still come

As we hope that summer isn't done

The hopeful glances

As we take all sorts of different chances

 

A coat or an umbrella?

Will we be back before dark, like Cinderella?

The sun disappears quicker than ever

And we expect to see it again sooner than never

 

But this poem isn't a bashing of autumn

And autumn doesn't mean we hit rock bottom

But the sun going away has a sort of depression

That brings out so many different types of questions

 

Until we remember Halloween

The fun parties, costumes and unseen dreams

The fires lit and hot chocolates drunk

As Autumn slowly ends, chunk by chunk

 

It feels like Autumn is the quickest season

This is due to no rhyme or reason

So cherish it before it leaves

Before it is taken away from us, stolen by thieves.

 

Poetry is one of my geekiest obsessions, especially writing my own. I don't know how good this is, because I wrote it off the top of my head.

 

It was kind of inspired by Carrie Hope Fletcher's 'Letters To Autumn', but I thought that I would enjoy doing a poem more, so that's what I did.

 

I really hope you liked this, I've never done poetry on this blog before but I would love to do it again in the future!

 

Thank you for reading.
