Autumn Memory

Autumn saunters in Silent as a new spring breeze Stirring fallen leaves Blanketing a cold worn earth A year of greenery molted Brisk wind dips treetops Naked arms stretch fractious Shivering in the chill Creaking, groaning with cold ache Arthritis here now till spring Copyright © 2010 By Caryl S.

This one reads like a winner to me..I don't know if the contest has been judged or not..I missed this one I guess..I like the last line..Would not have thought of using that word "Arthritis"...Your presence at my work lifted my spirits...Sara

Fall does "saunter in" silently at first, and then the breezes whip up the leaves. Great images of fall, Caryl, and I wish you success in Amy's contest. Hope the arthritis isn't too bad, though. Cold weather makes all our old wounds feel sore again. Love, Carolyn
