my fall poem

...that I wrote for English class...



Drink in the Season
O Autumn, you are my beer
Your dry leaves crackle under my feet
Like the popping open of the cap
Of a crisp, cold one
Dizzying, swirling shades of amber and crimson
I rapidly drink in your intoxicating beauty
And wander around in a drunken daze
Loving everything I see
With a fiery feeling in my chest
Like the blazing colors of the leaves
I fall to the ground in pure ecstacy
And wake up
With a wild
Headache.
