For some, fall is about leaves
     of red, yellow, and brown.
For some, fall is about hot apple cider,
     spiced with cinnamon and sweetened with caramel.
For some, fall is about scarecrows
     and pumpkins,

For me, fall is about the slow reappearance of the
     Scarf Collection adorning the necks of people
     all around me and reminding me of
     the loving warmth that surrounds me.

But for a whole lot of people,
fall is just about getting colder
     and colder and colder.
I realize it’s not the sunniest thought to share,
     but it’s the thought that I was thinking.
