The Call Of Autumn

Late August and something is heard.
Can you hear it?
mornings - cold now
and something is calling
with summers end 
you feel a change
these
the last days of sunshine
and the weather is cooling
it calls
over the last icecream of summer
you notice
the last blue skies above you - do you hear it?
Time to change your wardrobe 
for the days of September shorten
quickly they shorten
children are soon back to school
switch on the heating!
For the leaves on trees will soon be around your feet as you walk the streets - crunching under foot
dead
it's time to swallow that bitter pill
do you hear it?
Listen!

That is the call of Autumn
