The smell in the apartment lingered
heavily above me as if it was to
settle somewhere soon.
The fragrance was sweet and fruity
with just a hint of flower aroma.
As i open the door the smell follows
me out into the hall where it mixes
with the odor of fried chicken,
grease, and trash taken out recently.
I open the door to go outside and fall
hits me in the face as if to say come
join the essence of this day.
Fall smells comes into the apartment
overpowering what is already there.
The smell is one to let you know
fall is here and winter is coming.
The beauty of fall is in the trees
and the different colored leaves
out there for all to see.
Just look around fall is everywhere
and in every sound.
As you step on the leaves they crackle
the trees empty branches hit each
other and music is made.
This is falls way of asking you to
Come outside and join in this
beautiful fall day.
