Falling leaves, cool north winds

Shortening the day

Swallows gathering above

Winters on it’s way.

 

Flocks of geese heading

In `V` formation south

Squirrels scurry in the trees

With nut filled mouth.

 

A darkening dusk

Sky of azure and green

Landscape turning brown

Snow capped peaks are seen.

 

Autumnal mists descending

A sinister shroud

Sun forms a silver lining

On cumulus cloud.

 

A lowing call

Of a distant cow

The herring gulls

White behind the plough.

 

Birds have flown

Long deserted nests

Winter comes

England rests
