Caren Krutsinger Poet Quatern

Magic of Autumn

clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice
bringing October into view
fall’s sweet presence is very nice
oranges and yellows in autumn’s hues
 
spider creates intricate web
clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice
produce in garden grown by Jeb
apple cobbler give me a slice
 
quick leaf movers – squirrels and mice
oaks let down their hair all around
clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice
acreage of leaves duly found
 
air is calm, mornings are cooler
Can school wait a year? No dice.
Jimmy needs his brand-new ruler
clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice

Connie Marcum Wong August 16, 2022 at 4:35 AM I love reading autumn poems Caren. All my children were born the first week of November and we used to celebrate their birthdays all together on Halloween. We would have a Halloween party and they never minded sharing their birthday. Best of luck in the contest with this fun autumn poem. Blessings xxoo Caren Krutsinger August 16, 2022 at 11:39 PM I just absolutely LOVE spring the best but autumn is a close second. Summer I could give away as easily as a broken shoestring - this year it was horrible in Kansas - maybe horrible in the entire nation! Not looking forward to winter either. Farmer's almanac is never wrong - it should be a harsh snow-filled winter!

M. L. Kiser August 12, 2022 at 11:50 AM Wow, beautifully done!!! Caren Krutsinger August 12, 2022 at 1:23 PM Thank you - this was a stretch, trying to follow a formula.
