This Season

The deck was strewn with fallen leaves; I swept them all away And cleared the gutters with my broom. The house looks fine today. I bought two mini-pumpkin gourds, As I do every year, Which perch right near the door to lend An autumn atmosphere. Surrounding trees are orange-gold, The foliage at peak. As far as Nature’s beauty goes, I’m on a winning streak. This season’s always magical; Though leaves mean extra work, The colors and the cool crisp air Provide a double-perk.

Autumn is a favorite season with me, Ilene. I just got back from visiting friends in Maine. The leaves are past their prime, however; it wasn't a spectacular season this year they told me. No matter. At least we didn't have bad weather! Enjoyed this poem. /Maurice

One additional reason I like living in an apartment complex...someone else gets to do the "yard" work. I just get to enjoy all the trees and leaves and color changes.
