Autumn Rising





Kissing the nectars of succulent summer
Good-bye
Replaced with
Crisp, Cool Nights
sun beaming through branches bare
Autumn rising
Pumpkin delight
Pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin pie
Pumpkin quiche
Figs with sweet honey
Nuts galore
Collard Greens
Leeks and
Peas
Soup, let it shine!
Porcini
Butternut Squash
Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper
Red Plush Wine devine
Cranberries and Yams
Sweet Potatoes too!
Apples consuming
Fugi, Cortland, Gala, Red Delicious
Embracing the warmth
Lurking behind the comforting door
of warm Cinnamon Apple Pie baking
Cider in sight
Fall Colors Alight!

    Fall is here… Another year is coming to an end. How true are thy words! I could see the entire picture and I almost felt those autumn leaves falling on me. Beautifully written.

    oh my...your autumn (wherever you are) is much much different than the one I am experiencing here. oh how I long for crisp autumn filled with all those good things you have just described.

    sigh~

    have a bite of pie for me please. ;-)

    Wow, you make me look at Autumn differently.

    It never was my fav season and certainly not when I am in Germany. But I am hungry now ;-))

    Awesome, vivid writing, Kay. I heard someone knocking on my door last night. I went and opened it. "Why, hello there, Mr. Autumn," I said in surprise, "you're early this year!"

    Blessings, poet-friend!!

    Everyone is into Autumn but me. Still stuck in three digit weather, with nothing to sooth me but posts of fall. Thanks!

    Kay, simply yummy. Cute, what a welcoming start to Autumn.

    Autumn is actually my favourite season of the year, I can't explain it ... possibly connected to Halloween, and Guy Faulks night (a British celebration).

    I named my business 'Pumpkin' because of the beauty and atmosphere connected to the fruit. I adore your poem. :)

    I enjoy writing poems and lyrics. I too feel the reader should decide what a poem makes them feel without being directed. Sometimes my commenters don't understand the things I write, but that's o.k.
