Nip on the Nose

13 7 9
                                    

A gust of cold wind

A nip on the nose

Reminds me to stop

And watch fall leaves flow


Leaves rustle and crunch

With each step I take

I'm glad my neighbor

Has misplaced his rake


Most people look up

For colors of fall

Watch tall trees drop leaves

Bright colors enthrall


I like to look down

Each leaf I review

Check out the colors

That sleepy trees strew


Look! Small dark red leaves

The color of wine

Round mounds of orange

Like pumpkins on vine


Bright yellow leaves twirl

And swirl under trees

Reminding me of

A fat bumblebee


A green and red leaf

A season to come

Hearing soft whispers

My throat starts to hum


A gust of cold wind

A nip on the nose

Reminds me to stop

And watch fall leaves flow
