It's Fall

from JoeUser Forums

Crisp night air,

Colorful, crackling leaves,

Time for trees to sleep,

For crops to ripen,

For animals to scamper to and fro,

Stocking up for the harsh winter to come.

Another turn of season,

School back in session,

Halloween and Thanksgiving,

Candy and a huge meal,

Fall is a celebration.

Kids with the sniffles,

Wrapped up in cozy blankets,

Watching the north wind blow.

Frost will come soon,

And snow may start,

The year draws to a close.

Breathe in the earthy scent,

As life winds down,

Falls asleep and hides away,

Get used to the briskness,

Of these lovely fall days

Nice imagery...

Now, can you tell me why you guys call Autumn 'fall'? (I can't believe the simplistic version of 'because its when the leaves fall from the trees').

Speaking for myself I think we call it fall because it's what we were taught in elementary school.

BTW, I liked this quite a bit. Especially whenever you use scamper. That's a fun word to read.

Thanks, Maso. You might want to go ahead and believe that, though...because I'm pretty sure that's why. We're simplistic people...

Thanks, Costlow...it is indeed a fun word and always reminds me of squirrels.

Hey, if you find symbolism then good job.  I don't know if I consciously put any in there...but knowing me, my unconscious probably added some hidden philosophical treats.
