IT'S AUTUMN TIME I KNOW

by Gene Minix

The nights are getting longer.
Days grow shorter.
The cool north breezes blow.
Trees are dressing
In colors so bright.
It's Autumn time I know.

I love to watch smoke
From the village houses
Curl upward and move slow.
Corn and pumpkins in the fields.
Sweet smells in the air.
It's Autumn time I know.

Children playing on piles
Of leaves stacked high.
Enjoying their time so.
The hickory wood's aroma
In the fireplace at evening time.
It's Autumn time I know.

Ah, the wonder of the season.
Day time and night time, too.
I do love it so.
A big bright moon at night
And a frosty morning greeting.
It's Autumn time I know.
