'Why I Like an Autumn Chill'
I used to dread
That Autumn Chill
An anxious childhood chill
The end of Summer chill
The back-to-school chill
The quiet child, ‘please don’t pick on me’ chill
The (must it always be football) PE chill
The last-to-be-picked chill
The shouting teacher chill
And his ‘hurts-my-ears’ chill
The friendless child chill
That just wanted to stay home in his own world.
 
But now I don’t mind
An autumn chill
It’s a ‘I quite like this’ chill
Because an autumn chill
A yellow, orange and red chill
A worm casing in mud chill
A ‘birds back at the feeder’ chill
A cosy jumper in the evening chill
Is a reminding chill
It’s an ‘I survived’ chill
And a sense of relief chill
That I don’t have to do those things anymore.
