Today I started the book the thirty-nine Clues, The Maze Of Bones.

My Autumn poem

Autumn leaves
4/5/12
When the wind blows like a parachute catching all the air

The sun would glimmer  behind the trees like glitter.

The leaves blow low down as pieces blow off the leaf into the cold autumn air and gets in people's eyes.

The temperature cools down and the trees rustle.
Winter comes the trees are bare,
No leaves.
