Beautiful Fall

B ecoming attuned to autumn. E venings no longer taking a stretch. A ware of a darker veil at morning. U shered in by autumn's breath. T he low light at evening is softer. I meander winding woodland paths. F luttering leaves of beautiful browns U nder footfall give us laughter as we L ift armfuls then let them scatter. F all is a time of harvest. A nd preparing for dark days to come. L ight the fire and let's all gather. L ingering long after that moon has shone.

I can feel the crisp fresh wind of autumn Jean. A lovely winning acrostic! I love how the vines growing on the buildings turn red. Fond memories of autumn in Ireland. Congratulations Jean. : )

The autumn colours always make me want to get my knitting out Connie. Unfortunately, my new washing machine made small work of my last woolen masterpiece.
