I smell autumn
All the colors of the leaves like rainbows in the trees
Scarecrows, like knights, guard over me
Bright orange pumpkins lay waiting to be picked
The leaves crackling under my feet like fire crackles
The sound of geese flying south for the winter
The crisp cold air as it sweeps the leaves from the trees
The warm fire as it spreads smoke in the air
I taste hot cider; it warms me up like a blanket
I smell autumn
