Into the world the Sandman, Autumn, creeps

and lulls the gentle child of Earth to sleep,

blowing his twinkling stardust in her eyes;

making her dream of starry Autumn skies,

then placing his soft kisses on her head;

his gently falling leaves of gold and red,

with Autumn breeze he whispers in her ear,

“Sleep well and, when you wake, Spring will be here”.

Thanks so much, Jenny. I often read a lot of very sad poems about Autumn but Nature's only having a nap and I really want to represent a happier side to Autumn. Really glad that you enjoyed it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
