Memories of Autumn Nights

On Autumn nights, under the watchful eyes of stars, we shared fun and laughter beneath their glow, Listened to Crickets serenading the moon, Hours upon hours spent reminiscing about days gone by, With eyes closed, we saw reality leaving, and dreams began to weave themselves as we laid beneath the dazzling sky. Autumn nights, long, damp and cold, Warmly dressed, we would sit and listen to ghosts' stories from days of old, Children in Halloween costumes and pumpkin baskets sang trick-a-treat, trick-a-treat, Painted little faces shout with excitement as they receive gifts of toys and sweets. On crispy Autumn nights, we would gather in the park and patiently sit, Waiting to toast marshmallows and roast chestnuts around Bonfires once lit, The smoky scent infuses the chilly breeze, Causing everyone to huddle close together so as not to freeze. Autumn nights bring nostalgic memories back, a time for reflection, And as the Bonfires began to fade, we would leave each going in a different direction, With some taking the chance to reflect as we navigated through the dark, Then, one by one, we dropped our negative thoughts and feelings among the fallen leaves and wet bark.

Autumn is a beautiful season and cool autumn nights give us a chance to sit together, listen to nocturnal music and share sweet reminiscences, heart to heart. A lovely poem where the gaiety of children in Halloween costumes comes alive. Zyrool, I really enjoyed your poem.

Hi Valsa, thank you for checking out my poem, glad you enjoyed the read. Autumn and Spring are my favourite seasons, I must admit I also get my face painted by the kids as we take them on their rounds. Sending blessings your way, my friend.

I enjoy this poem. The outdoor scene reminds me of how serene an autumn evening is. I haven't had a toasted marshmallow in years, but it sounds delicious.

Thank you for checking out my work, Hilda. Those were days when we had no social media and smartphones.. the marshmallows these days are done indoors. Have a wonderful day my friend. Stay Blessed.
