Out the Window

OUT THE WINDOW our dear old spaniel fast asleep by the window blends so perfectly with autumn colors outside he whines paws the chair dreaming our big old oak tree ever but never changing seems to reach the sky while all surround they rustle they dance they speak come alive! i’m out the window watching the autumn ballet fixed on the minute inhaling autumn’s sweet breath then this flash of wings blue jay

I love the warmth and tenderness in this poem. I can almost smell the autumn leaves and feel the sun warming golden reddish fur.

You've set the mood for the beautiful write with the spaniel blending "with autumn colors outside". The magic of "the autumn ballet", "autumn's sweet breath", a lovely scene to enjoy and share, Daver! What sort of music would accompany a scene such as this? Perhaps nature makes its own symphony. Best to you all! Love, Mikki
