Autumn Appetites (Repost)


autumn’s tapestry
draped over summer’s last green
spicy smells float by

hay rides and cider
tiny goblins on doorsteps
piles of pumpkins high

leaves drift like sugar
in air crisp as an apple
my thoughts turn to pie

This is a repost of a piece I wrote a couple of years ago. But it is so perfect for the prompt, I couldn't resist sharing it again.

  3. Living in Florida, we don't get the rich fall foliage that is seen in other southern states. This poem captures the beauty of that colorful autumn tapestry.
