Poetry inspired by Fall...


Soft fuzzy blue gloves and hat
Tomato soup, squash and golden leaves
I love fall more than you can believe,
but I wonder?  Where is the hot
chocolate with melting little marshmallows
There is nothing more comforting than
grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup
It will feed the whole group.
Thinking about it makes me feel warm
and toasty! Boy I love fall, the air is crisp
the apples are crisp and ripe.
I saw a man smoking a pipe.
It personifies the fall
I cannot gripe!

-Christine Payne
