That Was Autumn

Below is a poem we wrote today as a class after brainstorming thoughts about Fall.

That Was Autumn

Do you remember the feel of the gentle breeze of fall?

I heard the cold winds whistling across the fields.

The forest was red and yellow and orange.

Do you remember jumping in the colourful leaves and the crunchy sound as you stepped on them?

Did you see apples on the ground?

I saw pumpkins growing in the fields.

I smelled fresh pumpkin seeds cooking in the oven,

And the sweet smell of fresh tarts and pies.

I tasted the cinnamon flavour of pumpkin pie.

Did you see animals preparing for winter?

I saw the ducks migrating away.

I heard the wolves howling at the night sky.

The bears were searching for food for their winter sleep.

Do you remember the smell of freshly fallen leaves?

That was autumn.
