Let's Talk About Fall

I’ve always loved the
Month September,
It leads to October:
Thanksgiving, Halloween
And longer nights November.

The red, orange and yellow leaves
Are lovely to watch fall softly
On the ground of haystacks
And frost.

Pumpkin pie, chestnuts,
Sweet potatoes and squash,
Eat it all up during the
Thanksgiving Feast
While its nice and hot.

On a blustery day its cold
Sending chills up my
Spine.
Scarecrows wave hello
On the windy fall nights.

I watch the bird migration
And the blowing leaves
And I sit and I think of
The beautiful seasonal things.

    How cute that you were able to bring to life the seasons by showing how one runs into the other. A different, and well done, take.

    Welcome to AllPoetry

    I appreciate the effort you made in writing this poem. I am one to think it's very important to care about how your poetry turns out and try your best.

    Some stanzas here, such as the first one, seem kind of obvious, redundant - the beginning wasn't particularly captivating. My favorite stanza is the third, because I feel it has the most vivid atmosphere in the whole poem, it makes me feel the most involved in what you say. The last stanza does this, too, actually.

    Keep writing and good luck

      Thank You

      I agree that my first few stanzas aren't exactly that wonderful. Thanks very much though for reading.

      I will most definitely keep writing.
