Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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

Jerry Brotherton September 12, 2023 at 6:42 PM My firepit and cozy blankets are ready for marshmallows. I can already feel a change in the weather. Gershon Wolf September 12, 2023 at 7:52 PM Yup. Fall is a-coming, though summer will not yield quite yet...

John Oldham September 12, 2023 at 5:47 PM Neat little poem here, Gershon. Captures the mood of the coming season nice and tidy. :) Best, John Gershon Wolf September 12, 2023 at 7:45 PM Hey, John! Thanks for the visit and the nice comment. Nice to see your avatar. Here's to a vibrant Autumn. :) Gershon

Linda Alice Fowler September 12, 2023 at 10:30 AM 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 :) Gershon Wolf September 12, 2023 at 7:41 PM 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

Shirley Hawkins September 11, 2023 at 11:39 PM 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. Gershon Wolf September 12, 2023 at 7:29 PM 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!
