Dusky Twirls

Special treats under autumn's  sky
 Apple cider and pumpkin pie
 And turkey roasted golden brown
 Picturesque scenes all around

 Gently falling autumn leaves
 Dance on a melancholy eve
 And color my mood in russet swirls
 And paint silhouettes in dusky twirls

 Leaves crunch beneath my feet
 As lights flicker on in the street
 Reflections of summer unfurl
 As the wind blows leaves in a whirl

 A season haunted by Halloween
 Ghosts and goblins and monsters mean
 An interlude before winter takes hold
 Where snowflakes swirl in the cold

Yes, it is that time of year again, for sweet treats and delicious feasts. Mmm.. I love the smell of Autumn. You have created a Masterpiece my dear friend. Soon it will be Halloween and then Thanksgiving and Christmas. A New Year will be upon us before we know it. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

I love all the last three stanzas. The first, I had best forget. I'm too overweight. Oh what a sumptuous fare. :)
