Fair Enough

Thus, we harken to its windblown plea Its whisperings of revelry Of cornucopian delight As pumpkins gather in a crowd Soft music plays a bit too loud Masked children dance into the night Of teddy bears just won, now lost Of fingers touched by moonlit frost Of cotton candy, sticky sweet First kisses stolen on Ferris Wheels Silver clouds on cornstalk fields Corn liquor sipped, a hard-earned treat Thus, we harken to its windblown plea To join in Fall’s windblown revelry

Let the Harvest Festivals begin. My neighbor has a still and we celebrate Boo and Brew. Breath in that October air my friend. Let me smell cotton candy and hear the sounds of laughter in the air. A superb poem my friend..

Ahhh, kisses are better somehow when stuck at the top of a Ferris wheel. Very cool

What a terrific poetic snapshot you created of perhaps a fall festival. So many lines I liked...first kisses stolen...silver clouds on cornstalk fields. We do harken to the windblown plea and join in the revelry. Well done, John. Have a pleasant day, Sara
