What Cottagers Miss

what cottagers miss

summer guests are gone from the street, 
fall approaches warily.       
old man fox returns in silence,
soon his vixen will follow. 
time slows to watch the geese fly by,
their bugles chase the weather.

My goodness Jackson! There is more to the wood than you can imagine. I love my little cabin and once the gorbies go peace.

I apologise up front for last nights poem dedication I made to you. Called -make some room for me- You were on my mind and it got me going.
