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
