Autumn Reverie
From the bower of my abode,
At dawn and twilight I strode.
Crispy leaves rustled as I passed,
Over frosty, shimmering grass.
Craving even paler sun on my face,
Amid stiff breezes I set a good pace.
Staying indoors all day I couldn’t bear,
After a busy summer outdoors in fresh air.
The swimming pool is closed, my kayak soon to her shelf,
Bundling up, to keep moving I motivate myself.
No longer lazy dreaming on my deck amused,
With cooling drink and book to peruse.
Yet longer nights offer pleasures that satisfy.
Pellet stove glow relaxes me as I philosophize.
Unlike me, my frisky dogs are eager for a cool spell,
Cheering me from doldrums on which I sometimes dwell.
