Where are alert squirrels, chipmunks and hare?  A glimpse amongst bushes see here or there, Soft breeze brings down cherry blooms in shower, Under cherry trees now carpeted they lie , Fiery sun slowly seems to lose power,  Red cardinals are gone, so are blue jays ,  Last of the robins do sing parting lays ,  Lots of nuts and acorns squirrels devour, All sorts of seeds in their granaries lie,  Ripe fruit is replacing fading flower, Foxes and bears search caves to hibernate, Migratory geese and swans can’t stay late. Reaping time for industrious bauer,  Making bundles of harvested wheat and rye,  Fiery sun slowly seems to lose power,  Vast expanse of bare fields about to rest,  Will rejuvenate during winter months .  Verdure leaves turn to colourful perure,  Deep cerulean turns clear autumn sky, Ripe fruit is replacing fading flower,  Divine bliss lies in Nature’s calm bowers,  Behold , myriad hues are there to spy ,  Fiery sun slowly seems to lose power,  Ripe fruit is replacing fading flower.
