SCENTS OF AUTUMN

SCENTS OF AUTUMN 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
crisp air,
woodsmoke gently curls,
leaves of cinnamon and spice,
earth breathes deep, a musky, sweet grace,
autumn.

Reg. the 'poetry' of this: 'spice' and 'grace' work so well together. I was positive that I had read a rhymed couplet -- until I reread it. ~ gw

Even though mine was depressing, I can relate to yours, because I also have positive feelings of Autumn. You did a great job with it.
