Autumn Sounds

A short and simple poem about feelings and nature's sounds during Autumn.

My foot presses against the dry leaf,

making it crunch and the wet, green grass 

under it flatten with the moss between its toes.

More warm-brown and gold leaves fall 

from the trees, and I listen to the bitter wind 

sigh in relief from its burdens of the heat of summer.

Crows sound from above, Cawing for food and prey;

a squirrel scurries up a nearby Evergreen,

and I lay in the damp grass

as I immerse myself in nature's Sounds of Autumn.
