Fall Tiptoed In

Fall Tiptoed In Softly, last night it tiptoed in-- that wisp of crispness in the air! I grab a quilt made way back when and watch the sunrise from my chair. The cinnamon breeze monarchs ride— softly, last night it tiptoed in and brought me thoughts of days gone by, of marshmallows and campfire friends. Can it be, summer’s at an end, and fall has quietly begun? Softly, last night it tiptoed in, to avoid notice of the sun. Just yesterday the summer heat made me wistful for fall, and then, while I’m in bed and fast asleep, softly, last night it tiptoed in! 8/26/2022 Hint of Autumn Regina McIntosh, sponsor

Thank you Kim. It was a wrestling match... Had written something I was happy with and then had to chop syllables off and keep it from turning into something else...whew! So glad you liked it and thank you for the fave :) ps

I love this PS! A FAV! Indeed, cinnamon breezes…awesome! Fall on tiptoes? Great This has to be one of the best poems I ever read, hands down. No unbearable or overdone imagery. Nor brutal Thesaurian verbiage. Simply a poem I want to hug and read over and over. Should be a POTD also. Now, let’s have cinnamon tea, eh? Pangie
