Red Plaid Autumn

Autumn came swiftly on the heels of summer's lace I reached for his plaid jacket feeling the warmth embrace me with long arms of sweet recall

Carrie, this poem was brilliant. I honestly teared up when I first read it, as it reminded me on my Grandfather in law who passed 9 yrs ago. He was one man in a million, and anyone who was blessed enough to meet him, was the all the better for it - I miss him terribly, and this poem screamed him. Excellent, emotional and so true - this was a winner upon the first read. Well done. you seserve this! Love Kristin
