We loved to traverse the dense forest, Where birds continued as they chorused, Admiring on one side the tall pines, Breathing their best fragrance from their vines. On the other side of the pathway, A thousand of maples made my day. Gold leaves fluttered slowly to the ground, A whiff of breeze, the path would be drowned. At the edge of the wood was our friend, Where with his food we had to contend. Sausages, bacon, eggs and coffee, Heard his lovely repeated story. He lent us his barn where we could sleep. Outside a river so wide and deep, Winded its weary way through vast plains, It would fill more with October rains. Clouds gathered above the horizon. What pleased us was a rainbow rising. We went inside the warm cosy shed Where all was clean, and straw which we spread. We slept like angels on that sweet bed.

That’s beautiful Victor, a wonderful walk seeing the elegant fall, and the crowing glory was spending a night in a friend’s cosy shed. Lovely poetry… Belle

What a splendid experience to be in a forest and then to get out leading to a path hemmed with pine and maple trees growing. Also to be fed with a sumptuous array of delectable cuisines provided by a friend and sleep in his barn. I am sure it must have been a beautiful outing. As ever, a lovely poem to read.

Lovely choice of photo to accompany this poem, Victor. Your imagery was very comforting. You expanded the beauty of your day with the added kindness of a friend, who shared a meal with you and provided shelter for the night. Quite the dream day to enjoy. Blessings my friend. Bill

I hope you will enjoy my dark poems too. They are fiction of course, I have a few dark ones up my sleeve, mainly dark poems which I deleted in the past when I was depressed. But again all my poems are mainly fiction except on some rare occasion. Pity no one believes me.

What a beautiful day spent. Some of my fave memories were spent in the woods. I especially enjoy the mountains. A great breakfast and soft straw bed. Sounds like bliss to me

a beautiful and well-crafted poem, Victor. You kept the rhyme scheme without distracting from painting a wonderful picture of fall. I love fall with its splendorous sights, colors, and smell. I loved the romantic touch at the end. Nicely done, Sara

What beautiful imagery to you poem Victor. There's a touch of innocence to it. The wonder of the gold leaves, the simple food from your friend along the way, the cosy barn, and sweet hay bed. Romance at its very best my dearest friend. Love and Hugs
