__**2008-2009 Fall Poetry**__ Fall Brook

The little brook is chilled with frost it bubbles like soda in a can

some leaves have sunk or stayed a float like teeny little boats

the brook is jammed with falls debris but somehow it keeps its steady flow

in some parts it’s like a little pond in others like a tiny river flowing rapidly

If it was not for fall this would not be here at all.

Fall

The icy water Tumbles over rocky falls. One leaf Goes along with the current, Going back and forth across the water. No birds chirping. Or frogs croaking. Just the sound of pencils scratching As the tips write on paper. The stream Moves slowly, but swiftly under our feet. The bright and colorful leaves Fall and crackle As people walk. A field trip full of excited little kids Runs across the bridge. A squirrel bounds silently Across the gleaming water, Making it ripple. -ES media type="file" key="esfall.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Clear Water

The clear water Full of leaves All different shapes and colors A bottom full of rock Water flowing down stream The sound of water whistling Falling off a little waterfall -OB media type="file" key="OBuchler.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Leaves

Red, brown and yellow some on the trees and some in the water and some in the air slowly floating down to the water. Hard, soft, crunchy and smooth. leaves. -JS

Fall No birds chirping, just kids talking, no sun shining, just wind blowing, no waves crashing, just leaves crunching. Goodbye summer, hello fall, no more ice cream men calling, just school bells chiming. Goodbye summer, hello fall. -AD

Leaves high high in the sky red like a fire burning in the fireplace with 100,000 flames, orange as a sunset in the nightime sky, yellow as the yellowest sunflower in the world, brown are the ones who crack le with delight when the wind comes in, ready to fall when the wind blows ready to fly -HR

Autumn Leaves Autumn now Is freezing cold All the leaves turn brown and gold Changing their colors on the trees Falling off when there’s a gentle breeze They float down Land on the ground Autumn Leaves -KW

media type="file" key="take3.m4a" width="300" height="50"  COLORS  Leaves are changing color.  Green, red, yellow and brown.  Then they slowly fall down from the tree to  the ground with other leaves.  Rake, rake, rake the leaves are in a pile.  CRASH.

The River Water slowly moving downstream Trees swaying in the breeze Leaves rustling Water bugs shooting across the surface Water is very cold The trees that have fell are old Everything is almost still Only sound is pencil on paper And water bubbling Water shoots down a little slide And into miniature rapids Leaves getting thrown under The leaves are as red as a cherry Green as a lime and yellow as a lemon -TB media type="file" key="TBeckett.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Leave's Cycle Leaves are on, Leaves are off, Leaves may fall, leaves may go, Leaves root, Until the day, Until the day in May, When they…. Come back, As beautiful, Leaves! -LA

Autumn Leaves Autumn leaves, golden yellow, tiger orange, maroon, iguana green, all falling from the trees, floating, and eventually landing softly on the ground.

Winter leaves, dark brown, full of holes, underneath the snow, waiting for spring to come, and wake them up.

Spring leaves, Kelly green, no more dead leaves, just leaves starting to multiply.

Summer leaves, all over the trees, ready to fall. -JM media type="file" key="JMazzola.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Leaves Leaves Leaves Falling from the hefty trees Falling like the Rain above

Leaves falling in The cool fall stream Letting fall Begin

Grass

It looks green as a piece of broccoli, it feels soft as a fuzzy blanket and when you lay on it, it tickles and it looks like little trees going back and forth, in the whistling wind

Looking, listening, breathing in, breathing out. Looking up, looking down, looking all around. But the only thing that catches my eye is that black night sky. Nothing else but a black night sky, a huge black night sky. - AD media type="file" key="adnightsk.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Lily Pads :-)

Swaying in the waves, frogs hopping on and off. Croak, croak. The lily pad does not sink.

As green as a flower’s stem. As strong as a tree bubble, bubble swish,swish.

Fall's brook

As the stream trickles Fall sets in Thrusting, forward, The river flows.

Leaves make dams Both weak and strong Thrusting forward, The river flows.

With a current swift The leaves delay Thrusting forward, The river flows.

Fall has arrived With many snags But thrusting forward, The river flows. By AG
