school busses were on the road at 6:30 am
leaves are tinged with red & orange

we would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found

In an octopus' garden in the shade

especially in the autumn

the time when everything bursts with its last beauty
as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale
Lauren DeStefano
Autumn...the year's last loveliest smile.
William Cullen Bryant
