Celebration of Poetry | Fall

Featuring a finalist in the One Book One Community Student Poetry Contest. Fall is written by Maddy Trainor a 7th grade student at Pleasant Hills Middle School.

Fall

The light

Streaming through the branches

Illuminating

The fall colors

Of reds, oranges, and yellows

Casting shadows

Along the leaf-strewn ground.

The cool breeze

Sending whispers through the woods

And sending shivers

Through the spines fo the trees

Causing leaves to stir

In a dace

Of celebration.

The last leaves

Cling onto the trees

Like life-perservers

Crumbling

At the slightest touch

The autumn

Has finally arrived.
