Nearness of Autumn

In froths of a sky never ever ending, she throttles like a half—shelled woman slow to prance in the midst of obedient breeze, her movement wrapped like a hundred cider vines... How orange are her nights. This hue burnt by sways of corrugated leaves ; a crown adorned with pearlized sequins turning tangerine in kaleidoscopic swirls of atumnal hues, this drift of charmed elegance only fall can muster. Seasonal Bliss Contest, Regina Riddle

Mercy Me, Nette...gotta agree with Deb...this should have taken first, although I think she deserves a good 'mooning' herself (God bless her)... Congratulations! - Tim
