Autumn Song

AUTUMN SONG Maples redden, farmers gather apples, pumpkins all together some for pies on which we lather whipping cream like snowy weather hiding every bud of heather. Blue sky deepens, gold grows bolder. Hiking through these colors, vibrant, hearing streams and creeks flow colder, friends explore this mountain highland. Open-mouthed, they stop, stand silent.

I read your beautiful poem, close my eyes and see Vermont. I can almost smell Autumn as I read, it is my favorite season.

Thank you for finding and reading this. Yes, fall is my favorite season, too. To see New England during fall is on my bucket list.

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year. Your poem has captured so much of its essence. Spring is trying to make an early entrance here.....but I relish each season for its own beauty. Thanks for putting me in an Autumn mood, Jenn. Hugs, SuZ

Hi SuZ! Thank you for such encouragement. So happy you like it. I enjoy each season like you do. Spring is early here in Fresno, Calif, too. So many tulip petals have already fallen from trees. Some almond blossoms are in full bloom, some fallen. We have the plum and peach blossoms to look forward to still. If you are in Fresno in early spring, there's this Blossom Trail I will take you to see.

Jennifer, welcome to Poetry Soup from a fellow Californian! I'm in San Diego, but my sister attended college in Fresno many years ago (Fresno Pacific). I have good memories of visiting her there. I just loved your images of autumn in this poem, especially hiking through the colors. ~ John

Great imagery though out your poem... seem like you may be from Canada, with the reference to maples..

Thank you Silent One! Actually I’m from Fresno, California but I’ve been to Canada and love it. There are maples here though, and I grew up looking at Ideals magazine so I guess that gave me a liking for maples too. Pleased to meet you, and now I am going to check out your poetry.
