Autumn

Autumn is colorful, like the bright rainbow after a rainy day, the tall oak trees, each with a different shade.

Autumn is flavorful, like the warm pumpkin seeds fresh out of the oven, the sweet crisp apples with gooey gold honey descending slowly down.

Autumn is joy, like sprinting around the towering oak trees, showered by the crunchy, colorful leaves, the glowing sun slowly peeking through the trees, playing hide-and-seek with the clouds.
