Five Bounteous Leaves

I yearn for shades of Autumn and all that it could bring

Oh such lovely imagery Pixie. You capture the season and spirit of autumn so delightfully.. 'acorns full of french berets' - so whimsical - and with cozy warmth.. 'the evening hearth that says "you're truly blessed" - such beautiful emotion imbues your poem my friend. A superb piece! Best wishes for a win.. ~Susan
