Fall Leaves

It was such a nice afternoon when Carlee and I arrived at my house. The leaves on the ground were so irresistible and we had to go and rack them, scoop them and stomp on them. Carlee had a great time with the leaves!

The Leaves

The leaves had a wonderful frolic.

They danced to the wind's loud song.

They whirled, and they floated, and scampered.

They circled and flew along.

The moon saw the little leaves dancing.

Each looked like a small brown bird.

The man in the moon smiled and listened.

And this is the song he heard.

The North Wind is calling, is calling,
And we must whirl round and round,
And then, when our dancing is ended,
We'll make a warm quilt for the ground.

Autumn Leaves

Down

Red

Autumn leaves tumble down,

Autumn leaves crumble down,

Autumn leaves bumble down,

Flaking and shaking,

Tumbledown leaves.

Skittery

Flittery

Rustle by

Hustle by

Crackle and crunch

In a snappety bunch.

Run and catch

Run and catch

Butterfly leaves

Sailboat leaves

Windstorm leaves.

Can you catch them?

Swoop,

Scoop,

Pile them up

In a stompy pile and

Jump

Jump

JUMP!
