Scents of Autumn

Rotting
spent fallen leaves
on a damp woodland floor
earthy aromas of mushrooms
decay

Very descriptive lines penned. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. I have raked those wet leaves in the yard and that moldy scent not very pleasant to me, but I suffer from allergies. Sara K

You are a real nature boy, Terry. I don't get out in the woods any more! Well done

A sensory delight, Terry. You have captured the earthiness of fallen leaves and a rain soaked forest! Hope this does well in the contest. Blessings and cheers :)
