Autumn and a zigzag of memories, bare cornfields replace luscious heaths. Forest tracks zigzag in vales as hikers' joy blooms admiring the half dead dahlias. From the verdant hills I spy The green ferns thrive from recent downpours; goats graze before the winter blasts and hay-laden carts amble by. Here and there old farms dot the countryside, smoke silently curling slowly out of blackened chimneys. Oh how I yearn for my past childhood And zigzag the vales among the mild climate. 4 December 2021 theme: ZIGZAG ''Z'' Contest, New or Old - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France

Congratulations on your win Victor. I felt such movement in your lines as your eyes "zig-zagged" over the scenery - an illusion of REM sleep in memory. Blessings!

When autumn is paving way to winter, grass withers, but on hillsides, the fern survives. The zigzagging paths, grazing goats , cart load of hay, all remind us of a serene village side. Like the winding paths, here memories too take a zigzag track and we are led through those beautiful memories. A lovely poem, dear friend.

Amen! Wishing thee Yuletide blessings, memories as richer or richer than Valsa's, and natural landscapes that are as American (Georgia, At, in USA) as they are Maltese. Do greet Lisa Ricci if she shows ... shalom, shalom Friend. anil
