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.

Your imagery for autumn is stunning. I too love this time of year. So sad that it fades to winter's cold much too quickly.

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. Pangie x x

Right?! My son and family have endured Northern winters from Poughkeepsie, Chicago and Minneapolis. So when they get their reprieve it will be the same :)

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. Sara
