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.
I am liking the use of cider, as I am from cider county- Somerset
ReplyDeleteI especially love the " tapestry draped over summer's green"
ReplyDeleteLiving 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.
