Autumn Walk
Autumn treasures we went to find,
conkers, acorns, it took some time
when the helicopter whirls were discovered
and then the chestnut swirls where uncovered,
hidden within the seeds and things,
that we collected though we left the fairy ring.
Hazel nuts, pine cones and river stones,
waiting within a cloak of leaf cover,
browns and rust golds,
orange berries round and ripe,
yellow or red – you need to get the edibles right!
Leaves scattered in dark maroon, skies are brooding –
there will be rain soon,
ride a scooter as there is a rainbow flash
then when it rains we make a dash
past a sheltering leaf hidden cat,
wipe your boots on the mat of a pub,
give your hands a scrub
as it is time to have a snuggly cuddly lunch
(though for some of us it might as well be a brunch)
all curled up with daddy’s phone playing games
until it is time for the walk home
