The great big oak tree
Sways gracefully in the wind
All the leaves sing songs

Flickering, flickering
Flashing its colors
Proud and bright

Traveling in the breeze
Softly touching me

Acorns skydiving
Birds zooming
Oak Trees dancing
Squirrels chattering secretly

by Tyler P. and Zie C.

Sitting in my favorite spot
Glancing at the sky
The sun glittering
Clouds like white gumdrops
Ouch!
An acorn dropped on my head

by Sara M.

Acorns falling down with me
Whispering in my ear
Saying help one at a time
Happily bouncing on the ground
After a whole day of fun
They all skip goodbye

by Jinny C. and Kimanna N.

Autumn Feels Good
by Abdi S.

Open your eyes to see beautiful leaves.
The leaves falling onto the ground.
People walking and crunching the leaves.
Autumn makes you ready for winter.
Autumn is about to leave us.
Try to have fun.
Winter is coming to make us cool.
Autumn makes you ready for winter.

About Autumn
by Nhi B.

Apples are red
Trees are brown
I love the autumn
Just like you do,
Lovely tree, lovely
Animal, I like nature
Say you do, too
Pretty bird, pretty
Leaves, the leaves have
Different colors, it's like
You could paint in
The wind, talking
About wind, the wind
Is blowing through my
hair and freshness is
In the air, now bye
Bye autumn, time for
Winter, winter is here
The animals are hibernating
But they can still wake up
And say bye bye to
Autumn!

As plump squirrels grab acorns
See fall come by fast

As we change colors
We start to fall to the ground
As the cats walk by

A jack-o-lantern awaits
The light is glowing

Leave them looking very bare

As I pluck apples
Nature`s candy stays upon
That juice stays within

The sky turns multicolored
Wind rustles the leaves

The sweet chilly breeze sends them
Quilted in color

Helping the pumpkins grow

As wisps of wind hurl the leaves
Frost nipping noses

A hammock lays there
It has to be so lonely
No one sitting there

Trees so big and small
As wide as an elephant
Their beauty expands

Next to a tree with no leaves
Sitting in the night

Everything is cold
A snow storm is coming here
It is very deep

There`s a yellow wood
Where the leaves are red and brown
They will soon come back
