Colours of Autumn 🍂

With misty mornings, shimmering spiders' webs and the changing colours of the leaves, Autumn is definitely the time of year when mother nature waves her magic wand.

Colours of Autumn

by Sara Fox

Autumn colours are ever-changing

In the trees and on the ground

Autumn leaves are rearranging 

Tossed and blown with rustling sounds

Shades of green are disappearing 

Emerald leaves once strong and bold

Lighter, brighter leaves are weary

Crimson, scarlet, russet, gold

Mr Scarecrow 🌾

Are scarecrows really so scary? Here is a poem inspired by all those friendly scarecrows...

Mr Scarecrow

by Sara Fox

Mr Scarecrow, I don't know

How you even scare the crows?

You don't look scary with your friendly smile

So why don't the birds just stop a while?

Mr Scarecrow, I don't know

Why the birds fly away home?

Instead of stopping by to play

With a friendly scarecrow made of hay.

Mr Scarecrow, I will stay

And talk to you  this sunny day.

I like your hat and your friendly smile

So here I'll stay with you a while
