Bare trees
Leafless
Crisp air, dry grass, chapped lips
Wardrobes changed out
Shorts for sweaters
Broken plastic baby pool discarded on trash day
Dusk comes early
Couch throws
Warming hands with a cup of tea
Pumpkin-spiced everything
School books starting to wear
Can’t get the stain out of the uniform
Brown-bagged lunches on repeat
Pumpkins, spiderwebs, and tombstones appear
Dark images of ghosts, death
Goosebumps prickle
The sound of crows

Definitely a great depiction of Fall! I hope you get that stain out😉 and I 100% relate to the chapped lips and tea warming my hands. Thanks so much for entering the Fall Writing Frenzy!
