Student Poetry Competition 2025 Winner: Autumn Forests

Autumn Forests

by Rose Pemberton, Daylesford Dharma School
Winner, Years 3 – 4, written poetry

Autumn is here
Yellow leaves fall
A light glow in the forest
Graceful birds call

 

The sun sets
Leaves scatter to the ground
Trees whisper
Lost and found

 

Moss climbs the trees
Water flows
As quick as a second
My love for nature grows.

‘A picturesque poem that captures the mellow transition of Autumn with delightful imagery - yellow leaves, glowing forests, whispering trees, and flowing water.’
