Ode to Fall

Read an original poem by two Herald staff members!

Ode+to+Fall

It’s the beginning of fall;

Through the leaves I crawl,

 

Anxiously anticipating the spooky Halloween;

Leaves changing from red and yellow to green,

 

Varsity football on Friday nights,

Watching with friends under the lights,

 

Driving to the orchards for apple picking;

Choosing a costume for “treat-or-tricking”

 

Chilly nights as the weather cools,

The dark sky filled with ghosts and ghouls,

 

The delicious smell of apple pie;

The sight of brooms as the witches fly,

 

Enjoy all of these festive fall delights…

But be aware you’re in for a fright!
