We cannot blame nature for melancholy of the autumn

We cannot blame nature for melancholy of the autumn
Leaves falling down the ground 
Decay to enrich the soil for feeds and the fertility of the forest

It's us isolated to our world of the human ignorance 
Excluding needs of the world that food feeds us with love of the flavors and colors 

And fantasy

Knitting is for grandmas 

They knit colorful fluffy scarfs for us that say I love you 
We wrap them around our necks and taking a pound dog for a day out heading to autumn forest

We smell wetness and comprehend processes of the nature 

She teaches us this I need 
I require 

Dog strolling ahead and behind 

Occasionally approaches us when we kneel near a interesting plant and touches our cheek with his wet nose 

He makes a circle around us and signifies this is defended and safe 

After a walk we return home and drinking hot beverage and eating kibble 

We love when it rains this kind

I like the straight-forward, no-nonsense simplicity of your poem. It is heart-warming and all rather cosy. Very nice, Kate. :) john
