Your time is up, fine summer!
Move aside, if you don’t mind.
It’s time to look around us
And see what we can find.
Those little signs of autumn
Easily spotted, when you look.
And if you can’t identify
Then go look in a book!
The blackberries are looking good,
So glossy and so juicy.
Pick one! Go on..eat it!
No need to be choosey!
The hips are now so plentiful.
Rose hip syrup..remember that?
Or maybe rose hip tea for you?
A cuppa and a chat!
Yes, all the signs of autumn
Are there for us to spy.
Nature is all around us
Above the ground; below the sky.
So when you go out walking
Take a look around.
You’ll be amazed at what you find
And the things that do astound.
But best of all, these wonders
Cost nowt! IT’S ALL FOR FREE!
Nature’s riches are for all of us
Hips, haws and spindle tree.
Blackberries and Crab Apples
Honeysuckle berries
Damsons, Plums and Sloes
Different wild cherries.
So move aside, dear summer.
Take a break! Have a rest!
Your turn will soon come around but now...
Let Autumn show its best!
A stroll, a bimble, perhaps a walk

Along the lane and across the meadow field
Looking carefully to spot nature’s yield
Yes, hand in hand go Sal and Terry
Spotting each fruit, nut and berry
There’s no need to spend our wedge
All found for free in a country hedge
