Notes About The Poem

Autumn Memories

Autumn and bygone memories,
bare cornfields,  luscious heaths,
where tracks zigzag to vales
as hikers' joy blooms.
The green ferns thrive 
from recent downpours;
goats graze before the winter blasts
and hay-laden carts amble by.
Here and there old farms dot 
the countryside, smoke silently
curling slowly out of blackened chimneys.
Oh how I yearn for my past childhood.

what a lovely pastoral scene you painted, Victor. Love this. Sorry I have so little time, but I try hard on the weekend to comment to all those who read my poetry during the week.

Those are lovely memories, Victor. I think you meant to add an "n" to year in your last line?
