Ashley - Atmosphere

As the leaves begin to fall
And the plants begin to shrivel,
As the ground starts to harden
And the cold winds start to ripple,
As the bears begin to burrow
And the birds begin to flee,
There comes a feeling that comes over me.
This feeling is not cold or sad or told
It happens within and takes over one’s skin.
It fills the atmosphere and prepares us for a new year,
This annual fun has just begun.

Ashley, age 16
