Five senses of autumn

Autumn sounds like
- noses being sniffed
- leaf blowers mimicking the lawnmowers of summer and spring
- fallen leaves scraping, tapping the pavement
- swaying tree branches, dry leaves bristling in the wind
- seasonal sneezes
- people mourning the impending winter

Autumn smells like
- dry dirt
- warm spices-- cardamom, cinnamon, cloves
- apples
- earth

Autumn tastes like
- apples
- pumpkins
- herbal tea
- bitter air
- fear

Autumn feels like
- brisk, cool winds
- air that starts to dry out the skin
- red noses
- leaves crunching underneath shoes

Autumn looks like
- quietly flaming trees
