Fall Need Not Creep

No need to creep in surreptitiously as if you were not longed for You turtlenecks and warm wool socks are dashing in or out of doors Sensing that I'd tired of green your refreshments I adore Crisp burnt-orange and fiery red leave me thirsty for some more Though soon you'll trade the dew for frost replace iced tea with hot Precious Fall: Take center stage deservedly ~ for 'creepy' you are not

My firepit and cozy blankets are ready for marshmallows. I can already feel a change in the weather.

Yup. Fall is a-coming, though summer will not yield quite yet...

I love this gw. The ambiguity of "...dashing in or out of doors..." is clever. I have so many wonderful fall clothes (from when I lived in Colorado) that I can't bear to part with, although there is seldom need for turtlenecks or wool in Texas. LOL :)

What do you mean, Linda? No need for wool in Texas?! Those silk sheep down there need SOMETHING for the occasional snowstorm! lol. Thanks, gw

Winter creeps in and out, until the colours of Autumn shout, " Winter it's time to go and take with you the driven snow. the freezing cold, the icy rain, because the splendour of autumns is here again" Good luck in the contest, Gershon, your entry will take some beating, loved it.

From your mouth to Tania's ear, Shirley: Hope this entry, indeed, 'takes some beating' -- although many of my entries over the years 'take a beating!' lol. Thanks!
