The chilly weather settles into your bones. ​ (a)  
Those once green leaves turn
Red, yellow, orange, and brown. ​ (b)  
CRRNCH! go the leaves,,
Beneath  your feet. ​ (c)  
The birds fly in a victory “V” formation,
To where the sun rules the skies.
The days of winter are lurking around
Waiting to be free falling.
