Notes About The Poem

italian sonnet ABBA CDDC EFGE FG

Autumn Chill

How I remember walking hand in hand
The morning chill in autumn air astound
When October golden days rolled around~
Slowly through the forest across his land

Reached dad's cabin ~ giving the door a push
He'd roar up the wood stove perk some coffee
Soon the cabin would be warm as toffee~
His mancave retreat hid deep in the bush

To be invited I glowed with honor
Sharing the pride he felt down to the core
Yet never dreaming time would not stand still~
Each October fondly I remember

Never would I~ could I have asked for more
Fall memories outside my window sill~

What a lovely image to see you and my dad hang out in his cabin. Two peas in a pod.

I love this one Line. It reminds me of my cabin house in the mountains with the woodstove, etc. Well done! :)
