Childhood memories of autumn in Illinois
Autumn Memories


The smokey smell of autumn lives within my memories
Raking leaves into mighty mounds in our yard of naked trees

Diving deep into the piles, we'd play hide-and-seek
Jumping up, yelling "boo", shaking off the leaves

Father yelling, "Girls, stand back!" as he sets the piles ablaze
burning leaves turn into ash on those smokey autumn days
