Fall Harvest/ Fall Celebrations

I would like this contest to reflect the feelings, colors, emotions/memories, the fall season brings to you. You can also write about Halloween or as I like to call it, Spook day .
I love this time of year and how it makes me feel. It was in the fall that I married my husband, we've been married for ten years as of November 10. So this season holds extra special meaning to me.
This is a free write contest, meaning any kind of poem will do, just do your best. I do have one request though... please take it easy on the Haiku type poems. I am not much into those.

Rules:
1) No bashing other authors, or religions.
2) No sticky caps.
3) No cursing, keep language out.
4) Have fun with it.
5) Use your imagination/real life experiances.
6) Keep it clean.

Show me your feelings on this time of year.

Side note:
The Fall celebrations part I am referring to consists of all the fun things going on from Oct. to Nov.
"Spook day" ((Halloween))- Thanksgiving.
So you can also choose the option of telling me about your Thanksgiving traditions or what you are Thankful for. Just please mention in your notes which topic you are writing about.
