One Autumn Day

One Autumn Day


Once upon an Autumn day
the fairies came outside to play
with their brushes, wings as wands
tinted all the ferns and fronds
and as the moment slowly past
turned summer pond to looking glass

BG Login to Reply John Lawless Date: 9/14/2014 7:37:00 AM Yes, Barbara, the ferns and fronds seem to be Autumn's step-children, always relegated to the dark corners and edges of streams and rivers. Thanks for stopping by.
