Autumn's Dreams of a Country Road

Autumn's dream of a country road
Where houses are few and moving slowed.
Leaves are turning gold_ red_ burgundy.
Inside a warm home apples are candy.
In a barn or cellar cold winter foods quickly stowed
Against winter's coming and inches snowed.
Autumn dreams of snuggling nights when windy
Breeze carries tune;close by snacks_ hot chocolate handy.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/1/2011 1:02:00 PM Oh, this is a wonderfully dreamy poem, Sara. I loved living in the country "where houses were few." You took me back to childhood days with the snow and the hot chocolate. Would you believe I never had a candy apple? Terrific entry for Rick's contest and I wish you success.

Russell Sivey Date: 10/31/2011 3:10:00 PM Great write here Sara! I really enjoyed the two lines, "Autumn's dream of a country road, Where houses are few and moving slowed" this is so very true...I go out to my elderly grandmothers house often and things do go slower out there and neighbors are in fact far apart! Such a perfect two lines!! Wonderful work! Login to Reply
