Autumn Fall

Autumn Fall

Jack Frost is waiting to weave his mischievous magic

Amongst the changing flora lays an endless carpet of vibrant purple heather, its sweet note sings in the cool air

Brown and yellow paint flecks adorn the smallest leaves

Multi-coloured toadstools and mushrooms spark vivid memories of magical childhood dreams 

Pixies and fairies will soon come out to play!

Autumn fall nights come alive with a waltz of neon blue and red

Tiny creatures play impish games in their nocturnal fungal playground

Olive, lime, emerald colours paint the forest floor in vibrant shades of green

I walk bare footed, feeling the cool moist spring of moss massaging my soul

The air is damp and chilled, full of the familiar scent of the Earth’s musty aroma

Birds sing, piping a Highland symphony welcoming another seasonal chapter

I feel so alive, ready to embrace more of nature’s ever changing breathtaking wonders.

what incredible vivid imagery that touches all my senses... love the line about the fairies as we have a 'fairy bridge' here and people have to wave and say hello to the 'little people' all something bad could happen!:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you so much Jan for you lovely words. I enjoyed every moment of writing that poem. It is a huge departure from my darker poetry exploring mental health. Really glad you enjoyed it...I hope to post some more soon x Steve x
