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.
