Autumn Stirs the Senses

Spicy,pungent,crisp
Inhale Autumn's sweet incense
Divine smells of Fall
From the crackling cedar fires
To the pumpkins in the fields

                    Hot apple cider
                    Pumpkin pie and roast turkey
                    Tempting aromas
                    Epicurean delights
                    Autumn's bounty feeds the soul

                                       Fall's cascading hues                
                                       Mother Nature's paint palette
                                       Bejewels the trees
                                       Our senses all come alive
                                       As Fall too quickly passes
