Autumn Appraisal

Time to start afresh... time to renew, 
I'm looking forward to autumn... hope so are you? 

Out with the coat, scarves and boots. Colds, coughs and sneezes.
Crisp air, falling leaves and steady cool breezes.

Sounds of crunchy leaves beneath your feet.

No more of that bothersome heat. 

A mild breeze passes you by, 

makes you ponder for a while. 

Porridge in the morning... cocoa at night, 

warm desserts....what a delight. 

Frosty evenings... paired with twilight, 

darker sky... yet shining moonlight. 

After autumn follows winter so cherish this lovely season,

... savour the beauty and its glory because everything happens for a reason. 

(Poem by Asma Begum).
