peace beside still pond
days filled with autumn’s glory
golden leaves remain

The Corruption of Saint Helen
I took my beautiful mother-in-law, Saint Helen, to lunch at The Edison in Tallahassee today.
I had an outstanding BLT. She had a strawberry salad. We both had a cocktail!
Well, to be fair, Saint Helen only had half of one. I drank every last drop of mine.
Rosewater Pink Lemonade shaken with Bombay Gin is a lovely way to celebrate October 29. Or any other day, for that matter.
Peace, people!
Leaf Life
life had much promise
for you two seasons ago,
green budding leafling.
spring urged you forward
out of yearning innocence
a mere suggestion.
hot summer hinted
eternity can be yours
live forever leaf!
alas, autumn came
transforming green to orange
with one final stroke.
rest peacefully now
released from your life’s struggle
to crunch underfoot.
Fall, Fall, Fall
golden-wrapped autumn
wears a light hooded jacket
when function meets style.
pumpkins by truckloads
‘neath autumn’s bluest skies
poker faced lanterns.
Peace, people!
Old Lyme Creek
crisp golden aspens
burst full with autumn’s glory

Peace, people!
Autumn on Tap
Written in response to the Daily Post’s daily prompt: Turn, Turn, Turn. Which season do you look forward to most?
Serve me a large mug of Autumn:
Oranges, golds, yellows, and
Browns
Fires on crisp October
Evenings.
Sweaters, hoodies, woolen
Socks
Broken-in blue jeans and a
Soft blue barn coat–
Flannel lined.
High school football,
After game party
Hay rack rides
S’mores cooked to perfection.
Delicious chill in the air
Tailor-made for cuddling.
Trick-or-treating and
Jack-o’lanterns
Hot apple ciders and chocolate
With marshmallows.
Fill my mug again.
