Wind howls through the trees,
brown leaves crunch under my feet,
a hedgehog patters.

Leaves fall gracefully,
squirrels scurry up the trees,
it starts to drizzle.

Curled up by the fire,
wrapped cosy in thick blankets,
the storm rages on.

Bonfires flare up,
fireworks fizz, pop and bang,
the nights get darker.

The air is cold, damp,
snowdrops appear in the mist,
Autumn has ended.
