Fall in Oak Park

October is the month of fall

When the autumn gives her call

To the wind to blow at its top

So that the leaves fly and drop

##

Colour of leaves change from green

To golden yellow, and light shade cream

Then it turns to orange and red

With a tinge of light violet

##

Does nature have a long paint brush?

She colors the leaves with sudden rush

Then wipes out the canvas by maddening breeze

The trees stand naked along the ridge

##

Parks look barren without any shades

Dry brown leaves cover grass blades

Deserted trees stand on the roads

With a heap of sighs; grace unload

##

Halloween days are knocking at the door

The evil spirits are away with roar

Boys and girls with colorful dress

Out on the road with festive craze

##

If autumn comes, can winter be behind?

The chilly days with white snow lined

Will bring the Christmas days of joy----

In festive mood we all enjoy

A Squirrel Of Oak Park

Once a squirrel in Austin Garden

Crossed the iron fence,

He reached the side-walk and ran away

Through the Oak Park busy lane

#

He climbed up a big Oak tree

Gazing an apartment flat,

Then jumped on a window pane

And saw a mommy cat

Playing in the kitchen

With her two little kittens;

There was scattered plenty food

Yet to be eaten.

##

He was hungry, so knocked the glass,

But nobody opened the pane;

So, he got down from the tree----

Then ready to return again

To the garden where he lives;

As such, he traced his way

Back to the fence from where he leaped

And quietly ran away.

He crossed the road, hopped the fence,

Reached his sweety den,

And found a little girl in the park

Waiting to feed him grain.
