Image result for pictures of a fall scene of cottage on a lake with dockThis is not the picture Joseph used but I could not get the picture to stay for some reason. 

Picture # 4 used as inspiration
At our lakeside cottage where we have pottage at night When autumn comes and russet mums' blossoms daze Go to bed early, nothing to dread and wake by sun's light As the sun sets there's no regrets just joy at summer's end Fall wears her gown, her trees a crown as sun sends angular rays All of those glorious colors and arboreous reflections seem to blend Upon the lake beside our cottage , no place we've tried above it does rise Our golden lab lying asleep, as nights slowly creep upon days We peacefully rest, and feel so blessed as sleep softly creeps with surprise

Lovely poem with great weaving of words and internal rhyme. Altogether your happy stay in the lake side made me long for such a restful stay somewhere in a similarly serene place.

Thank you, IE. I have got two more stanzas to go. I need some magic to create lines I feel will pass the test. Sara K

Such a lovely write just as Autumn starts giving us those beautiful colors in the change of leafs, and all associated with the fall. This really puts you in the spirit for it all. I have to go for a drive soon as in New York the leafs start changing colors and it is so beautiful...
