Poem: Autumn Leaves

The following poem I wrote for my sister's birthday 21 years ago:

                        Autumn Leaves
                        Autumn Leaves have filled the hills
                           With amber, gold, and red
                        Biting breeze nips noses still
                           And blows hair 'bout your head

                        Pumpkins, cornstalks, chilling rain
                           Leaves tumble to the ground
                        Falls upon us once again
                           Each steps a crunching sound

                        Scamp'ring squirr'ls cavort aloft
                           October's in the air
                        Fallen leaves crunch, oh so good
                           But cling within your hair

                        A country walk's a lovely date
                           For couples who have style
                        Across the fields, or by the lake
                           Just walk ... and talk awhile.
