The days are getting dark,
The fallen leaves cover the park,
The autumn colours are here;
This is the most colourful time of the year.
Hedgehogs and dormice hibernate,
Woodlands and tourist sites
Are in a dormant state.
Autumn makes me feel sleepy.
The dark nights are a bit creepy,
The gales are howling
River rapids flowing
Life in the town slowing
Down.
Autumn puts the garden to bed
And crocuses blossom in the flower bed.

Brilliant title, Adam. I'm not sure which I prefer: "The sleepy season" or "Charred autumn"... They're both great. The imagery in this poem certainly encompasses autumn. A well-paced piece with a solid final couplet.

Very evocative Adam, you have captured autumn in all its moods
Like " Autumn puts the garden to bed" and the idea of the "dormant state."
