Autumn

Haiku/Tanka/Haiku for Linda-Marie's contest. Autumn has arrived the gentle years are calling love, life at harvest. Friends like old armchairs come to coffee the morning glide in the porch swing and we reminisce for hours; pastel roses without thorns. Come with me my love, take my hand; we'll go walking west, into the sun.

Friends are much like old armchairs -- we feel comfortable with them and they are always there for us. I like the way you compared the golden years of life to the fall harvest, Wayne. A delightful entry for the contest and I wish you success. Love, Carolyn
