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
