Autumn
I can sense fall coming
Just around the corner
My whole being rejoices
Like the crowds on July 4th
The sights and sounds release me
They complete me
The reds, the oranges, and yellows
The browns and the golds
All the colors surround me
Like a rainbow of my own
The crunching beneath my feet
There's no other sound like it
The thoughts of fresh apple pie
Hot cider and piles of leaves
Fill my thoughts
I become like a greedy child at Christmas
Looking forward to the next delight
Jumping into piles of freshly fallen leaves
Fill me with exhilaration beyond compare
Raking my favorite past time
I look for decorations filling every yard
Eagerly awaiting October 31st
My favorite season comes
Knocking on my door
I greet it like an old friend
I sense fall coming
Just around the corner
Just around the corner
Just around...
IT'S HERE

- This week we're making metaphors. Look around your room quickly. What is the first item you notice? Look at it closely. Pick it up, if you can. Describe it simply (what is it? how big is it? what color is it?). Pick out one aspect of this item(Color, texture, weight.). Describe it simply. Now describe that aspect in terms of something else (an animal, a place, a person). Now describe that aspect in terms of another sense. (if it is a color describe it in terms or taste or smell. If it is a texture describe it in terms of color or a food.) For example "it felt beige, like the sands at Indiana Dunes."
- July 2: Describe your favorite toy from childhood. What did it look like then? What does it look like now? How does/did it smell? Feel? Taste? Write a poem or short story and make this item play a significant role.
