My most favorite season of them all is autumn, although some call it fall. A kaleidoscope of such colorful leaves, drift from trees on an autumnal breeze. Leaves of ginger, ochre and fiery red twirl in the air, and land on my head. As we walk in the glen I cannot resist kicking the leaves - hubs tells me to desist! The biting wind has chilled us through, so we amble home to eat warming stew. Fall brings shorter days and longer nights, snuggling by firelight’s one of falls delights!

This is a cozy poem letting us the readers see how picturesque Autumn can be and how we can enjoy it as much as any other season. Quite honestly Autumn is my favorite season Jan. Thank-you for your comment on Saturday, I have blocked this poet! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Very cool. Like the use of "hubs." That is too funny!!! At first I was thinking why would a wheel be talking to you. You always make me laugh.

As a male, I prefer putting the spring in Spring to the downfall of fall, but your first two lines are a clear winner! Aloha! Rico

I saw a photo on Korean TV last night that "kaleidoscope of colourful leaves" perfectly describes. Aloha! Rico

Yummy picture of autumn - fall, Jan. Our temps are still in the high 70's but I know those crisp days and nights are coming and your beautiful poem is like peeking around the corner into what's coming! Can't wait for the stew and the snuggle! All the best for the contest!

Hi Sam, I also call it Autumn but fall is so perfect to describe the falling leaves:-) It's my favourite season I adore the colours and beauty it brings to the landscape:-) we dont have a log fire thats a little poetic licence but cuddling up by the radiator isn't so poetic:-) hugs jan xx
