Sparkling
Trembling slowly down Sometimes I make a heap
Lovely
Birds that travel southward And jump in them for fun.
Blooming
Lovely time to play
Cheerful
Nothing is as pleasant November:
Gold
As an autumn day! Now the autumn days are gone

Ex.6:
Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves fall down in showers,
Leaves of brown and gold and red.
They cover houses, grass, and flowers
Like a quilt upon a bed.
They spread a bright gay carpet
All up and down the street.
We skip and dance upon them
With merry twinkling fee.
