fall is a reminder

Fluffy tailed rodents chasing rings around trees Cool air, bringing a realism with harsh new breeze Leaves redressed in yellows, oranges, golds and reds. Nothing but brown ugly things in my flower beds. Autumn is here, tooting her coronet about winter. The wood on the porch is rotten, the edge has splintered. Jackets and sweaters are searched for, I discover my old blue. Mittens are almost never a match, you find one, but not two. Fall is a reminder that the world is tensing up for snow. Frost and sleet, ice on the roads, hope you do not have far to go. I scrunch down in my chair surrounded by fluffy fleece. Eating warm foods like potatoes with gravy made with grease.
