Writer's Walk by Meghan D.

I feel

the warm sun shining on my back

with a little heat on me

clean air is breathing

through my nose

I see

yellow, orange and red leaves

trees wherever I go

red apples hanging on apple trees

red leaves on a branch, looking sad

I hear

birds singing a beautiful melody

honking geese flhying south for the cold winter

crows squawking for their property

I feel

cold fall air touching me

fall and winter are talking and whistling
