First day of autumn poems

Golden autumn’s here at last,
Bright colours painted thick and fast,
May your heart be full of light
And happiness keep shining bright!

Leaves are dancing in the breeze,
Autumn whispers through the trees,
May your home be warm and bright
And your heart at peace each night!

Autumn flowers

In autumn a warm bouquet is especially welcome — chrysanthemums in sunny shades or roses paired with chrysanthemums.
