Whistling Winds and Tangerine Smells of Home




The Scent of summer on my skin 
golden hues of remembrances
The rushing river moves quietly 
into the hours of the day 
Autumn steams by in fired shades 
amber oranges yellows and red 
The whistling winds subside 
and I feel winter's chide 
January shivers homsie brews 
rainy days that end with snow 
Wet leaves cling to the pavement 
tangerine smells of home

Tangerine smells, would that be Italy? OR where you live at the moment? Your poem is full of imagery my friend..
