POEM

 Signs of Fall

When summer is departing 

and fall is arriving,

the wind whips through the trees

and spooks the cat.

The leaves consider

wearing bold new colors.

In the corner of my room

my mother builds a pile

of new notebooks and pencils and paper.

And when I bike past the school,

I start hoping my new teacher

isn’t too strict

and that my friends and I

are all assigned to the same class.
