Crisp fall air, Hot apple cider, Trail horse rider, People who care,

I miss her With every waking breath And every little death She’ll remind me I can’t locate a conifer Then probably call me a jovial slur She’ll want to ramble about the Black Death And call me a fool for forgetting Macbeth These are the daily affections I incur I wish to kiss That beautiful miss And hold her all night Every caress floors me How lucky can I be That incredulous nerd is Just. Right.

The leaves have changed again The cold seeps under my nails The summer boomerangs back, fails Fall will fall, winter always wins Tilt back your head drink my sin Tell me where to go, drop a pin Rely on me, I’ll keep you fed

I will use you, you will use me inhaling orange and reds I can barely breathe

Shake me down until my body burns bare I know this means I’m about to die but I don’t care

_Leaves curled tight within clear pools _ _Summer’s glow leaves scarlet mark _ _Fades as coolness hardens bark _ _Dons a winter coat on mules _ _Farmers harvest rusting tools _ _Sun bows slowly into dark _ _Sings the last song does the lark _ _Cold breathes death in frailing fools _ __ _Moon shine brighter, wax each night _ _Sun bleeds last its golden light _ _Wind indues a harsh clean bite _

__ _Dying warmth within your hands _ _Coat I weave from fraying strands _ _Bubbling hot our pots and pans _

Working to make a living Leaving you in the past Every time I leave this town It’s like a breath of fresh air The only downside is you Living a movie Where you aren’t a part of the highlight reel Live vicariously theough me May not be enough I wish it want like this I wish I could do better I wish you could see the things I’ve seen Experience the world as me I wish I could see the world through your eyes Seeing the beauty in everything In awe of nature and the surroundings Instead I’m withering Unable to keep control I keep slithering Through my life

Leaves falling fast Summer's gone, we must dash Bring your friends and hide your stash Set a'drift and hoist your mast

Winter's nigh, the fire's cast Snow is falling in a flash Teeth of wolves begin to gnash Halloween's begun at last

Fairies, globlins gather near Its time to fill these woods with fear

Twisting, whisling, dancing rain Thunder fills the woods with pain

Witches, its time to cast your sphear Hide and fear, the ghosts are here

**Three quarters have gone of a year. ** **Leaves are falling all around. ** **The sound of acorns hitting the ground. ** **It is a time of year we hold dear. ** **The holidays are near. ** **Cheers, that familiar sound. ** **Watching the football being tossed around. ** **The atmosphere shifts when the Nightingales appear. ** **Crickets are calling, and the leaves are crunching. ** **Smelling wood burning. ** **Children are playing, and men are hunting. ** **The cool temperature of the air slowly emerging ** **The tree's colors are stunning. ** **The seasons are converting. **

Autumn has come around once again Red, orange, yellow and brown Leaves falling all around Coating the terrain Every year the sweet smell of pumpkin spice How it fills me with joy To know that soon Halloween will soon deploy And my soul will rejoice All year I wait patiently for this day When the nights grow long and weary I feel my mood becomes more cheery With a fire place lit and gentle rain Reading cozy vibes and playing with my Nintendo Inside my house I smile drinking hot coco

As Autumn’s breath whispers through golden leaves, Bamboo trees stand cloaked in gowns of red and gold, Beautiful Summer’s heat and green now tales of old, As nature’s hand this yearly canvas weaves. A harvest moon in silent night achieves, But a glow that speaks of stories yet untold, Bold winds through the empty fields unfold, A song of change that every heart perceives.

Yet with this beauty comes a solemn sigh, For fleeting moments time will not prolong, As Winter’s chill lies waiting in the sky.

So let us drink of Autumn’s fleeting song, And treasure every amber, russet dye, Before the cold descends and days grow long.

In courts of thorns where shadows softly creep, Amidst the whispers of the fae's unrest, There walks a fox, by trials sorely pressed, Yet kindness blooms where others sow deceit.

Through shattered bonds and loves forever lost, He bears the scars of battles fiercely fought, Yet in his heart, compassion's flame is caught, A beacon in the darkness, tempest-tossed.

Betrayed, his eye a testament to pain, And yet he finds the strength to still believe, In loyalty and love, though hope is slain.

For in his soul, a sunbeam does retrieve The light of kindness, despite the rain, Lucien, the fox, in tragedy, achieves.
