Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Fabulous Fall

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!

Jennifer Proxenos September 14, 2020 at 9:58 AM 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.

Duke Beaufort September 14, 2020 at 3:40 AM 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. Jan Allison September 15, 2020 at 3:00 PM lol using hubby would have spoiled my syllable count lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta September 13, 2020 at 11:59 AM 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 Rico Leffanta September 14, 2020 at 11:23 AM I saw a photo on Korean TV last night that "kaleidoscope of colourful leaves" perfectly describes. Aloha!
