Autumn Is Here
Pumpkins in the cornfields
Gold among the brown
Leaves of rust and scarlet
Trembling slowly down
Birds that travel southward
Lovely time to play
Nothing is as pleasant
As an autumn day!

October leaves are lovely,
They rustle when I run,
Sometimes I make a heap
And jump in them for fun.

Ex.6:

Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves fall down in showers,
Leaves of brown and gold and red.
They cover houses, grass, and flowers
Like a quilt upon a bed.

They spread a bright gay carpet
All up and down the street.
We skip and dance upon them
With merry twinkling fee.
