#Autumn #Horsechestnut #Conkers #octpowrimo
Its already happening
as the school kids were returning
to English and maths
The Big Deciduous were sending a Red Alert
“Winters Coming!”
As Lush green leaves turned Red, Yellow, Orange and Brown
sending a message of change into town
the colours much richer, bright and bolder
the message relayed – it’s going to get colder
but under the horse chestnut tree
the children are getting summat for free
as it drops its seeds , in growth its aim
the kids pick them up, for a schoolyard game
