The Majic of Autumn

Crackling leaves Laughing with delight As they swirl and twirl In the crimson light Around the bond fire Snapping flames Glowing in the night Near the lake The water breaking As the birds take flight Frosty orange pumpkins Watching from the vine On the porch Kegs of apple cider And cherry wine Crispy whispers Blowing through the pines As the magic spell of autumn Once again unwinds. Author's Note: I believe this was posted last year or the year before, but I have decided to post it again as it is in keeping with the season

This really resonates as I watch the leaves tumble to the ground as Scotland prepares for another seven-month bombardment of dismal weather. Great images conjured up in this poem.
