"Fall Poem" by Samantha Lozinski

Wake up smelling fall.

Apple cider and pumpkin donuts.

My bright red jacket hugs my arms, making the goosebumps go away from the cold air from outside.

With my pale grey socks on, I step onto the cold patio, as a shiver goes up my spine and down my arms.

Run inside, and back out, except with shoes this time.

Running down the hill with the wind blowing through my wavy, brown hair, making me feel free.

Feeling like I am a leaf, blowing in the chilly fall breeze.

Red, Orange, and Yellow fall above me, making it almost look like a painting with the colors swirling around like a tornado.

The leaves rustle around me, and the wind blows in my ears. I go inside escaping from the coldness of the fierce breeze.

Get something hot while snuggling into a spooky movie, while screaming my head off, making my voice hurt.

While I try to recover, I look out the window in the front of my house.

I see the bright orange pumpkins in the front of the house, and right beside that are some spooky decorations.

I go upstairs to get ready for “Trick or Treating.”

Put on my onesie costume.

I’m not a human anymore.

I’ve now transformed into a koala, the snuggliest animal in the world.

I go down the steps, as my feet fall down each eighteen.

I smell the nice scent of cinnamon.

It makes me feel almost calmer…

I’m ready. I go into the dark mysterious night.

The bright moon almost acts like a flashlight for me, just giving me the slightest hint of light.

Then I hear it, a wolf howling from who knows where.
