Autumn’s Breath Makes a Plan

Autumn’s breath playfully teases 
and does what it pleases
to her already mussed-up hair 
as she swears it isn’t fair
to go to the dance
looking for romance 
while the beauty queen
enters the scene
getting all the wow
posing for photos under the bough.

Little Ricky grew up quite nice
and all the girls would like to entice
him to perhaps grab a kiss 
like some wanton miss
forgetting her manners,
becoming a seducing enchanter~
Autumn’s breath like fine wine 
teases young lovers to entwine~

Now her daddy is planning
a shotgun wedding.

sara Etgen-Baker August 27, 2026 at 1:44 PM wasn't expecting that ending! Clever.

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 24, 2026 at 6:58 PM I really enjoyed the playful narrative in this piece! You used the couplet form wonderfully to build up the mischievous, breezy atmosphere of Autumn's breath. The transition from the romantic tension around Little Ricky to the hilarious twist ending of the shotgun wedding is perfectly paced. Great storytelling and humor!
