Olivia
When you go outside you hear birds
But today I had the burrs.
I could feel the sun burning through my back
And the cement on my butt.
You could see pint, kids jogging out to gym class.
And the colors of the trees,
Green
Yellow
Orange
Red
The way the leaves smelled like they got ran over by a car and a mix of gasoline.
The cars all grey and black and white.
The one that’s sliver and red
The softball fields behind me
I felt that cold breeze ho through my clothes.
My hand to my face with the fresh smell of soap.
The birds chirping with cheer
Then I see Olivia oh so clear.

i love the fall and this describes it so well.
