Rustling leaves, high water gauge
Blue skies still but heat has faded
Suntanned faces now look jaded...
Crowded buses, trams and train
Consoling soups and stews – weight gain
Should I put the heating on
Now hope of long warm spells is gone?
Schools in full swing, evening classes
Morning mists now fog my glasses
Long-sleeved sweaters fit the bill
Essential to ward off a chill!
Cobbled streets aren't safe when wet
But shopping needs must still be met
Glossy conkers in the mire
Thoughts turn again to crackling fire ...
