Dear Fall, 

How stubborn you are!

I’m trying to grasp the last bits and pieces 

Of a dying Summer, 

But she was always your enemy, 

And you won’t let her linger any longer. 

Your presence makes me want to curl up on the couch

With a cup of warm cider between my hands

While I watch Gilmore Girls. 

Yes, Fall, I know your arrival means the start of another school year, 

But I hardly mind, 

Because that also means football games and homecoming

And sweater weather and haunted hayrides. 

So, Fall, can you stay a little longer this year, 

Perhaps till December? 

Cause I love everything about you (nearly), 

And I really don’t enjoy Winter’s snowstorms. 

Sincerely, 

The girl who loves fall
