Autumn Royal

Come my love past the beauty of the hill Ablaze with ginger sunset and fall fire On a fast downhill wagon hayride thrill In festive saffron and amber attire Celebrating with tambourine and lyre Autumn’s gift of new harvest abundance With an improvised Abu Barn floor dance Circling around a ginger umber mound Pumpkin carving for the Jack-O- lantern Eating chestnuts fresh gathered from the ground Racing rolling barrels to the caverns To ferment before hitting the taverns Cinnamon flavored pies and crimson wine Ginger spiced to flavor the night is fine Fourth Place: Brian Strand- Premier Contest 1183-2/8/23 Fifth Place: Julie Leigh Rodeheaver- Autumn Romance-9/28/17 Sixth Place: Dale Gregory Cozart-Autumn Royal Rhyme-10/5/17 Ninth Place: Brian Strand- contest 110 -11/9/17 Fifth Place: Brian Strand- contest 355-10/31/17
