Autumn Poem

Leaves fall on the ground
Crackling
Breaking
Splitting
Everywhere
By Krew

Autumn leaves

Autumn is so peaceful,
very quiet.
Leaves on the ground,
fluttering around.
It is nice to feel the wind,
brushing on my face.
By Martha

Autumn

Howling, whistling winds.
Red and brown leaves.
Excited children
running through
crunching, crackling leaves.
By Henry

Autumn

Wind blowing
Leaves rustling
Escaping
Breaking free
Float to the ground
Hiding
By Katelyn

Autumn leaves

Autumn leaves
floating down.
Softly whooshing around.
Peacefully gliding down
like a blanket landing on the ground.
Crunching.
A pile of leaves.
Yellow, brown and orange.
By Teru

Fluttering leaves

Gold leaves fluttering to the ground.
Windy gusts,
breaking free.
They float,
they quiver,
down to the ground.
You smell the faint earthy smell,
as you hear the leaves go crunch!
By Reuben

Squirrels

Squirrels searching for acorns.
Scuttling up the trees,
avoiding nearby dog’s teeth!
Nibbling nuts that they stored.
Leaves swirling down,
as squirrels race around.
By Brecken

Autumn

Crinkling leaves
flying
softly fall.
Golden, red, orange
fresh and bold
like a blanket on the ground.
By Aria

Autumn leaves

Softly fluttering
to the ground.
Dancing all about.
Autumn is peaceful.
By Lizzie

Autumn leaves

Gold leaves falling
Bald trees
Green grass blowing
By Jessica

Autumn leaves

Falling from the trees
Softly floating
Softly landing on the ground
Crunching
When children step on them
By Arlo

Autumn

Autumn is quiet
Autumn is still
It makes me feel calm
It makes me feel special
Autumn is peaceful
Autumn is magical
‘Cos of the golden leaves
Like sparkles in a wand.
By Maggie

Autumn

Red leaves and green leaves
Gold leaves and yellow leaves
They crunch
when they are under my feet
They tickle
By Skylah

Autumn

Crinkling leaves
Fluttering to the ground
Crunching under my feet
The sound of Autumn
is pretty neat
By Danny

Autumn

Autumn is quiet
Autumn is still
It makes me feel peaceful,
when the birds trill.
Acorns fall,
Squirrels collect,
Foxes hunt,
As a bear slept.
Bugs scuttle,
Birds tweet,
all the animals get their Autumn treat.
By Wren

Anyway, it’s almost ready to fly.
I hope it can have a baby too.
