                                The Coming of Fall

Soon the leaves will fall, my friend

            A golden blanket will cover the yard  

           

            Anticipating the coming fall

            Dreading my mother, soon to call

She will give me the order

            The infamous line

“Go rake the leaves honey,”

Saying with a smile

She’ll send me away

Never once losing that smile

And one may wonder, why the pain

            Alone with imaginative heavy rain  

So, I start my punishment

Or so I made myself believe

I get with raking,

Raking those gold mocking leaves
