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 ** for contest Enchantment of Fall...Tanka a Moment sponsored by Amy Green
