Doris Culverhouse Poet Narrative

First Signs of Fall

Snuggling in the covers
Chilly hands and feet
Frisky cats playing in the cool air.
Highschool football team in the homecoming parade.

Pickup trucks pulling trailers with four wheelers and 
deer stands, congest the weekend byways.
What's that? Ping-Pow-Bang!! Oh! The rifles!
Look out, destructive pea eaters.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix October 1, 2009 at 8:15 PM I can just about feel the chill through these lines and can imagine the atmosphere around those who go out hunting. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.

Carol Sunshine Brown September 29, 2009 at 11:56 AM That is what makes them there deer taste so good Doris. Eating english peas does wonders for their flavor haven't you ever noticed that? Love your fall poem. Love, Carol

In fact, one could say I'm in football heaven this time of year. It's good to meet other women who are interested in sports! Great work, Doris! Love, Carolyn
