Fall For This Lass

Chilled by the air that clasps my feet
with a needed rub…rubious tingles.
The door ajar with Autumnal treat.
Swept away, the humidity and its heat.

A little cold air and steaming drink,
The coffee, brave and daring.
It cools off quicker, on the brink.
From this seasonal invite, I will not shrink.

Just a small window in the hourglass,
Before the roar of arctic temperatures.
Exaggeration at best - it will kick the brass,
Inform me to quilt or sweater this lass.

Panagiota Romios Date: 9/19/2023 12:17:00 PM Well done, Kim. I won’t endure the harshness of winter, here in CA,. But forty years of Chicago winters more than fulfilled my quota.

So when they get their reprieve it will be the same :)

Sara Kendrick Date: 9/19/2023 10:55:00 AM Ahh!! Fall has officially begun and they say that the nineties have gone for this year. I do hope so. I do enjoy the break between summer and the colder air of winter. I like this one which if it is for a contest, reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Your visits to my page are encouraging.
