Autumn is a poetic marvel - all those beautiful colour changes, the weather morphing from summer to winter and a sense of an ending approaching. Join Claire Buss on this seasonal journey through pumpkin spice and crunchy leaves, hibernating hedgehogs and hot chocolate by the bonfire. Take a moment to appreciate the warmth of fall with this collection of twenty-five autumnal poems.
Back To School
The summer holidays have been suitably grand
We've done nearly everything I'd planned
The sun has shone and the rain came down
I mostly turned upside down each frown
We've visited family and seen good friends
At times it felt like the holiday would never end
We went to the beach and swam in the sea
We walked past lots of flowers and counted the bees
A hike to visit the castle ruins up on the hill
And we've definitely eaten our entire fill
Of Greggs sausage rolls and Happy Meals
Not a big fan but they had all the feels
And now it's the night before the best day so far
We're going back to school, we're raising the bar
It's a brand new year, new teacher, new class
I'm hoping they don't give them too much sass
I'm excited they're going but I know I'll be sad
Hoping naively I don't miss them too bad
I feel sure home time will soon come around
And they'll chatter excitedly in the playground
So let's raise our mugs in an exhausted cheer
They go back to school, it's finally here!
