Sudden Fall
Autumn came like a tiger
bursting from the brush,
all the heat was blown away,
the birds left in a rush.
The summer flowers wilted,
the bees died in their nests,
and mice rushed into toasty homes
like uninvited guests.
The skies were blue like crystal,
the leaves were turning brown,
chrysanthemums in pots appeared
on every porch in town.
The summer died so quickly,
we don’t know where it went,
but not a sweaty soul complained,
for everyone was spent.
The chilly days of Autumn
had finally come at last;
I only hope that Winter
doesn’t hit us just as fast—
