Autumn

Skin gone pale,

Cheeks flushed red,

You’ll keep your socks on,

When we’re in bed,

Snail trail tears,

Eyes flash bright,

You don’t feel the cold,

All out of spite,

Open sky,

Scorched earth heals,

Crows punctuating,

Sepia fields,

Grown up oaks,

Wave goodbye,

To outdoor play as,

Exhaust pipes sigh,

Spiders crawl,

Acorns fall,

Warm up your fingers,

Pick up my call
