A Rondaful Poem
Fall in New England by June Sargent
Artwork by MoonWillow at FanArtReview.com

With purple skies, the air has now turned cold,
as summer makes her exit with head bowed.
The trees are crowned in shades of red and gold -
fall season reigns.

New England fairs are fun for families,
where catapulting pumpkins draw a crowd
and children petting chicks and soft bunnies -
bring smiling eyes!

With purple skies, fall season reigns.
New England fairs bring smiling eyes!
