Blossoms in the spring
Shelter for the animals
A perch for birds to sing

More lovely than a tree?”

The last of summer’s fleeing warmth
A lovely little butterfly.”

The gently falling leaves
The chimneys puffing woodsmoke
That scent the frosted breeze
The pumpkins in their patch
The cornstalks growing tall
The landscape slowly changing garb
From green to gold—it’s fall!”

In a cozy little patch
A chipmunk found a pumpkin
In a tuft of autumn grass
He built a door and windows
And a chimney made of stone
Then he hugged that little pumpkin
As he whispered, welcome home!”

The blue sky is your ocean
The wind is your wave.”

Till all the world lay steeped within
Her bright October glow.”

Bronzed in autumn
Breathes magic.”

Like a distant call that’s sailing on the breeze
It’s a-comin’ ever closer with a paintbrush
And a yellow, red-gold palette for the trees
There’s a crisp, delightful coolness all around you
And a crinkle underfoot, as if to say
Let’s go strolling through the bright October sunshine
With the dancing leaves ahead to guide the way!”

Blending into
One work of art.”

And the trees match the orange of the patch
When the vines take their time in a glorious stretch
As they trail through the sweet autumn grass
With a wave of some magic held fast in the earth
All at once they sprout up from the ground
And I doubt that a sight filled with greater delight
O’er the whole of the world could be found.”

“In the quiet of a pumpkin patch
With the moon hanging high in the sky
If you listen close, you might just hear
The gnomes as they pass by
They’ll march along to an autumn song
That they sing oh-so-soft as they go
Then watch with delight at a magical sight
For oh, how those pumpkins will grow!”
Laura Jaworski 🍂
43
“The gnome’s have gone out marching
For autumn’s here again
And all throughout the golden wood
They’re calling to their friends
Bring apples, pears, and pumpkins
And pile them at the gate
The leaves are skipping on the wind
It’s time to celebrate!”
Laura Jaworski 🍂
44
“Up in the ol' apple tree
With the moon shining down through the branches
With a rickety ladder to climb
(But that's OK, I'll take my chances)
With a mug of my favorite cocoa
And a blanket that fits me just right
With a big slice of pie
Gazing up at the sky
On the very first crisp autumn night.”
Laura Jaworski 🍂
45
“I'd like to spend the night in a pumpkin patch
With the moonlight up above
And firefly lanterns hanging in the sky
With a scarecrow on the lookout
And a mound of hay to nestle in
I'd like to spend the night in a pumpkin patch
With a fire to keep us warm
Telling stories, and passing around
Apple cider and spiced cinnamon cookies
Oh—
How I would like to spend the night in a pumpkin patch!”

A soft breeze
Through the trees
Turns the leaves
Into fireworks confetti.”

And leaves, gently leaving one home for another—
Autumn.”

Night long
Crackling fire
Autumn’s song!”

The air has caught a chill
And rows of pumpkins big and small
Are perched upon my sill
The leaves are falling prettily

It’s autumntime again!”

A pocketful is nice
But autumn's gold holds such a worth
Each leaf is counted twice
So give me gilded woodlands
And gently falling leaves
I'd gladly forfeit opulence
For walks among the trees.”
Laura Jaworski 🍂
57
"Oh that I could bottle fall
And make the magic last
Too rapidly the colors fade
The leaves depart too fast
But then, the winter snows will come
And afterward, the green
And so I'll treasure every step
And each breath in-between."
Laura Jaworski 🍂
58
“Autumn reaches past its bloom
A cold November afternoon
The trees stand bare against the sky
A solitary leaf floats by
The earth has changed, and changed again
From summer's green to autumn's red
And soon the wood will sink beneath
A swath of white, a winter sheathe
How beautifully each day is made
Each sunbeam cast and setting laid
By what great hand is such work done
My heart can think of only one.”
Laura Jaworski 🍂
59
"Autumn’s gold has fallen
It rests upon the floor
A garment laid about the wood
That once the fair trees wore
But still the leaves are treasure
Held fondly by the earth
For every mote in nature’s keep
Is infinite in worth."
Laura Jaworski 🍂
60
“What is the magic of an autumn day?
I do not know, I cannot say
But does a woodland set aglow
Not stir the longings of the soul?
What is the magic of a winter snow?
I cannot say, I do not know
But does a landscape dressed in frill
Not speak of something greater still?”
Laura Jaworski 🍂

like gazing at a deep and vibrant wonder.”

To dress the wood in autumntime.”

Autumn Firsts
A leaf that isn’t like the others
A gust of wind that isn’t warm
A scent of baking rich in spice
A gently waving field of corn
A patch of pumpkins round and plump
A sweater lifted from its drawer
These are the firsts of every fall
And every year I love them more.

In summertime the green delights
In winter comes the snow

Is rich in golden grace
As if the earth had fashioned fall
From threads of gleaming lace.”

Then took off in a run
Across the gently waving fields
Alight with golden sun
Then all at once her little friends
Went following along
And how they leaped and twirled and laughed
As Autumn sang its song.”
Laura Jaworski 🍂
79
There Is a Path to Autumn
There is a path to autumn
Though few have ever been
Away down in the wildwood
In wafts of summer green
It’s there you’ll find the faefolk
The pixies and the gnomes
Some set out on adventure
Some ambling to their homes
And on the trail they’re trekking
When summer’s stretched a ways
You’ll feel a sweet wind rising
To soothe the sweltry days
The trees extend their great limbs
A twinkling light unfurls
Then sweeps across the woodland
Bringing autumn to the world.
Laura Jaworski 🍂

“Fly, Little Bird
With the wind at your breast
And the world far below to surveil
High, Little Bird
Through the wind and the rain
Through the sleet and the snow and the hail
Oh, Little Bird
What a joy it must be
To glide over mountains and trees
To skim past the clouds flying high, Little Bird
Like a ship sailing free on the breeze.”
Laura Jaworski 🍂
