Autumn Afterglow

Autumn Afterglow Pristine blue October skies are flowing Falling leaves a’ waltz upon the air Tapestries of woven destinations Painted in a colorful affair Apple pies in open windows calling Woolen jackets hung beside the door Frolicking through wayward pumpkin patches Hand in hand, now who could ask for more Pinecones rest along a winding pathway Sparrows sing in barren trees above Dreaming in the afterglow of Autumn Nature’s beauty shared with one you love 10/23/18 Written for the Seasonal or Unseasonal Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kim Rodrigues

I am happy you enjoyed this one. I enjoy Autumn as well, though where I live now Autumn is very short lived.

The sights, smells, and sounds in this one are so precious. You should either bake them in a pie and sell them---or get your poems published. They are just wonderful!!! We are all vying for second place in the contest. A real winner and a FAVE for me. Bravo, poet! Best wishes, Gershon

That sounds like a good idea...poetic pie, mmmm. : ) I guess it would be a little slice of life. : ) Thanks so much my friend for all of your kindness.

This poem describes it just as it is, very nice! I like the apple pie line - I made an apple pie the other day, but the crust didn't come out so well. I was missing ingredients. :)

I'm sorry to hear that Heidi but happy you liked my poem. : ) I'm sure the pie was delicious anyway.
