If Autumn Were a Person

Wisps of long brown hair

escaping a orange knit hat

Honey brown eyes

Surrounded by black-rimmed glasses

Heart-shaped lips

Lightly covered in lip gloss

Cream sweater

Under a green puffy jacket

Black jeans

Tall socks

With orange, cream, brown, and black stripes

Brown boots

Worn-in and loved

The scent of leaves

Lingers like a perfume

Each breath

A gust of wind

Each step

The rustling of the trees

Each tear

A reminder that winter is on its way

Each smile

The joy children feel

Jumping in leaf piles

Throwing leaves in the air

Hiking through the woods

Each tree its own rainbow

If Autumn were a person

I would love to meet her

  • A Mix

    My face is a mix of my parents'

    I have my dad's eyes

    And hair

    I have my moms features

    And skin tone

    But it all pulled together

    To make my face

    My face with brown hair and eyes

    Pink lips

  • My Hair and My Eyes

    My hair is brown

    It doesn't have highlights

    Or a red tint

    It doesn't shine

    In the sun

    It's just brown

    It's not long

    Or layered

    There's no light brown

    Hidden in the dark brown

  • A Story About A Girl

    Let me tell you story

    A story about a girl

    Who had the same longing for adventure

    As little Red Riding Hood

    And the same urge for freedom

    As Rapunzel

    Let me tell you a story

    About a girl
