Spice

What is that glow near yonder red leaf. near a willow still sharing grief? A gem, perhaps, or sunbeam with drops of cinnamon. I won't hazard guess, but I confess topaz gems are nice spice! November 6, 2022 for Andrea Dietrich's "November Nonet" Poetry contest

Love all the rhyming and the cute imagery in this one. All you lacked was "a" guess, and I'd have given this a second place. Congrats in my contest. a truly delightful poem, as Suzanne down here has commented.
