Autumn Illusions of Gratitude

Leaves of ginger, lemon, and orange

Pumpkin spice glitters all around

Weaved like magic through branches

A graceful dance as they hit the ground

Perfect shapes like cookie cutter art

Embellished with the dew of the dawn

Charming piles of summer memories

Adorning sidewalks, street, and lawn

The smell of autumn rides the breeze

Bringing glad tidings to the heart

As I sit in my chair and do as I please

Baking pumpkin pie and an apple tart

My window frosted with the oven steam

The candles on the mantle flicker free

My welcome mat sports autumn leaves

Wandering who will come to visit me
