Notes About The Poem

image from TinaAnnAI

AUTUMN AFTERNOON

AUTUMN AFTERNOON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
spice cake on the table
     aroma wafts through the air
          coziness, tranquility 

cup of hot cocoa 
    warms hands
          sipping comforts soul

world slows
     gone is hurried pace
          time takes reprise

sun hangs low
     rays cascade down
          golden orb sighs

trees stand tall
     leaves ablaze
          hues of crimson, amber, and brown

air is crisp
     hint of chill
          warmth in our embrace

meander along winding path
     footfalls crunch fallen leaves
          autumn’s scent fills the breeze

world goes by
     colors change under the sky
          autumn charms 

revel in this scene
     cherish autumn’s fleeting days
          winter is on its way
