Autumn Nostalgia Poems

On summer nights
Nostalgia's muse revives
Scent of jasmine
Fig tree fragrance fuses
Memories meander 
Minty ice cream flavours 
Add sweetness to hungry kisses

Star gazing to cricket symphony

Jimmy Kerin, would go
mushroom picking in paddocks 
way out past the last suburban fence.
I...

Autumn gone, now winter frost,
Reflections return, times long lost.
Words, pictures plucked from air, 
Those I know are always there.

Sixty years ago and more,
When life and...

Are empty,
And the ladies,
Are filled,
With longings,
And croissants,

Gentling whispers, sighing 
Breathing prayers who consume guarded
Flames from yesterday’s shadows

Considered by the trembling branches,
Tugging against the gusts,
Laughing into...

A season dressed in hues of amber, gold,
Let leaves laugh in the gentle, hushéd breeze,
As stardust dawn awakens hearts at...
