Seasons

Came
mystic
pungent smell
of pumpkin pie
from a window sill
as burnished leaves abound.
Your memory here with me
through another holiday eve
with eternal hope in tomorrows'
promise that we will be together then.

Wow, this is great. I absolutely love your last line...it was a surprise when I got there and it gave the rest of the poem a deeper meaning, a more profound connection with the season as the ending of something warm and remembered. Brilliant job. Thanks for sharing this with us! love.t

So beautiful Sue. Sounds like you are missing someone deeply. Always hits hardest at the holidays. Wondering from your beginning lines if the smell was real or memory - both? Amazing write in beautiful form. Love, Shar

I am seeing the pumpkins already in the stores and the fields. I can taste an Epulaeryu Pumpkin Pie. 'Oh! So delicious! I like how the last two lines close the poem with a fruitful thought. Great job! ~Joseph
