Autumn

Post by RAYEES AHMAD KUMAR on Thursday, November 17, 2022

First slide

The dancing fall of dry withered leaves

Golden floor under the Chinar trees

 

Cool and refreshing breeze of mornings and evenings

Harvesting of paddy in the fields

 

Picking of apples and other fruits

Stored in the wicker baskets

 

Men women equally busy in lands

Lunch for the men, women carry

In wicker baskets on their heads

 

Threshing of walnuts a usual scene

Children preparing for their exams

 

Hide and seek of the electricity

Annoy students and displease others

 

Ladies burn drywood to make charcoal

Used during winter in the fire-pots

 

Sundrying the vegetables in wicker baskets

Which during harsh winter are cooked

 

To get a break from the busy work

Workers smoke through traditional Hubble-Bubble

 

Sometimes when it rains suddenly

People rush to protect their crops

 

Young working class of villages

Prepare to leave for outside the valley

 

Where they earn livelihood

And protect themselves from the biting cold

 

 

Like the pleasant spring season

Autumn in valley too is mesmerizing
