Silence the snow drops
Preparing for a new year
Readying the animals and plants
Inching closer to a new beginning
Next time I will be ready
Gone till next year.
Sizzling in the baking sun
United by the pool
Marching with a splash
Many giggling with joy
Eating lots of ice-cream
Ready for barbecues.
Autumn my favorite season
Under the leaves the children play
Together a moment frozen in time
Under the tallest trees
Many colours fall red, yellow and golden brown
Nine friends I made this year.
Walking with a squelch
In the snow
Next time I will be ready
Throwing snow till it melts
Entirely disappearing
Ready or not here I come.
