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.

Yes, I could see those cats playing in the leaves, and me trying to catch them with chilly hands and feet.. You painted a lovely picture of a fall day.

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.

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

From the brisk air to the football games, you have captured the most welcome elements of fall, Doris. 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
