Announcing the arrival of autumn
under and around each branch of the trees
the keeper of the trees, mother earth has been busy
undertaking her role of changing the colours
making colourful patterns for people to look at
note, the noise that they make – mother earth has done that too!
#Octpowrimo #Seeing
Look down the path – and what do you see ?
cascade of colours moved by the autumn breeze
or cold bare branches, bending in the wind ?
I can see an opportunity
to be the first person through the leaves – before the snow 🙂
In response to Thursday Photo Prompt
The woodland’s changing colour
from lush juicy greens to rustic reds
and painting a picture with a message
on the woodland paths
with each colourful crunch – “Winter’s coming”

“Red skies at Night, Shepherds Delight…..“
This old phrase is still around today.
It was the shepherds way of telling fine weather – a red sky at night normally foretold of fine weather next morning
Whilst a red sky in the morning, normally was followed by grey clouds in the skies above. It gave the shepherd time to get his flock onto lower ground and avoid an immediate drenching 🙂
We’re not out of winter yet in the UK, no matter what the met office say, and I’ve known it snow in March, despite it being technically Spring.

The trees are changing
As the temperature drops
As fast as the rain
Vibrant greens transform
Into a picturesque palette5
Of reds and browns
Signs of mercury
Travelling swiftly towards
The thermometer bulb
And deciduous trees all
Shed their leaves and seeds
In attempt to create new plants

Crafted from the cocoa bean and
Hot steamed milk
Out of the cold autumnal morning
Comes something warm and satisfying
Only your tastebuds can truly tell why you
Like it so much
As you send a biscuit in
The sweet smelling brew, for a bit of an

The squirrels are a scurrying
amongst the fallen leaves
searching out the conkers
hiding in the trees eaves
Carpet, multi coloured
paints a walker a scene
an autumnal view, that carries a few
colours, of red, gold, brown, green
And as bird watcher goes a twitching,
the animals go have some lunch
As the watcher goes round, he cant help but make a sound
as the leaves underneath him go crunch
But lets give our thanks to the Autumn,
who’s colours are warm and so bright,
as Winter arrives, the frost and snow thrives
turning the leaves on th’floor white!

When i saw this prompt from cees black and white challenge, I
expect you knew the response you see – It’s blooming
Autumn, they cried!
The weather’s bound to be bad, said some we’re gearing up for winter
Hot climates moved back, said others, towards the equator…
Everyone’s thinking of heading where its currently Summer,
Relax – I said, enjoy the White Christmas!
Two leaves, lost by the trees in Autumn, and used in an arty sense! Photo: BFK
Autumn is a little bit odd for a deciduous tree
you see whilst the evergreens are keeping their leaves
the deciduous trees are getting ready to lose theirs
and slowly their leaves turn from green
to yellow, to red and then brown
and as they do, they drift in the air
before landing on the ground

For years it’s been a clarion call,
Over the hills and valleys it falls
Greeting us all, with the message
Get yourselves ready, winters on its way!
you may ignore the creeping fog…but the leaves have already fallen
