Hot Cider Dreams

Fall glides in on the wings of migrating monarchs, stained glass visions seeking respite from a tedious journey signaling a change in our surroundings Blushing, the complexion of November slips from swimsuit informalities to fawn layered outfits of earth tone lace Singing of cool breeze melodies on chrysanthemum dance steps Sweetly autumn reaches, filling every part of my heart collecting at my feet like fallen leaves Swirling about me on winds of fleece lined affection tickling fancies and coaxing smiles Maple syrup hues cling to pumpkin seed desires, painting pathways in tinted curves, outlined in kaleidoscope siftings, champagne ribbons winding to stroll with the one you adore Fireside encounters warm of passion’s enduring flame a’ glow on shade drawn windows and pine needle temptations floating of chilled evening whispers Wrapped in my arms, hot cider dreams gather amidst comforting aromas, weaving scented shadows neath wool blanket motions and as the season changes, so do I… I fall more in love with you

Thanks so very much John, I really appreciate your kindness today and wow, thanks for the fave as well. I am thrilled you enjoyed this one so much. Autumn inspires me, where some say spring is the season of love, autumn is at the top of that list for me. Thanks again my friend.

Chris, Wow times a bunch. We may not be able to define everything that poetry is, but we know it when we see it. Here it is, here it is like in few other places. This is one of the best poems I have ever read.

"And as the season changes,so do I...I fall more in love with you"..This is an exceptional line..which shows that as time goes by the flame is not fading but becoming deeper. I love the way you described each season..such as migrating monarchs-leaving Spring/Slip from swimsuit informalities-leaving Summer/Fire-side encounters(my fave)-I love autumn/and wool blanket -pine needles temptations.-Winter...amongst others..Fabulous.I love how you picked strolls ,ribbons and champagne for autumn..Nice season pick : ).

Took my breath away Chris, this is exquisitely stunning. The imagery is stellar, I can picture those monarchs flitting round your poetry. November has never been as awe inspiring.
