Autumn Comes, With A Hazy Coffee Sun

Autumn Comes, With A Hazy Coffee Sun

A Poem by Vertigo Cat1111
"

'When Autumn's drawing near, and my vision's got less clear. Will you be worth the wait? That's a chance I'd like to take'. -John Allison Weiss,

"
Summer's drawing to a little bit of a close
Peach, watermelon and pineapple goes
Yellow and green gets replace with a paint job of orange and purple
If you know, you know
In only so many more days
We'll be in a bit of a cinnamon haze
Fall and all
Glowing orange trees and you always stand so tall

Baking leaves
Nutmeg sugar cookies
Orange, purple, black
All over
Did you get to know her?
Fall and all

Together we'll find a new way to start autumn
They say I lost my brains but
I still got them
And do you ever think about how high the sky is?

Apple and maple
Get costumes ready if your able
Craft stores and welcoming doors

Iced coffee 
Give you my hoodie
Tell you what you mean to me
As the leaves rise in a call to storms

I don't mind watching something gory
Just not gross
I still struggle with my phobia, you know
But I'll breathe and let it go
It's not 2020 or anything else painfully slow

After fall
I promise you, snow will cover the brick walls

A bit different than my normal! Not as many intense metaphors, hehe (:. Fall is coming already! What's your favorite season? I have a soft spot for summer and winter, but I love all the seasons. Have a great, wonderful day. (:

Oooohhh, a cinnamon haze? What a great analogy! LOVE this piece. I was JUST thinking this morning (despite the heat) that autumn is right around the corner. So many sights and sounds, visions, etc that are being thrown at the reader here. I'm soaking them all in. LOVE this time of year and your take on the changeover :)

Thank you so much! And yes, autumn's right around the corner, despite the heat!
I love all the colors of fall
the orange scarlet and golden
leaves on trees the smells of
firewood and scents of cedar
autumn is filled with so many
wonderful foods and events
a potpourri of good things
coffee and cookies sounds
good with the hazy coffee sun
of autumn so well expressed
this lovely poem

Thank you so much! Autumn is indeed such a cozy season, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. (:
I love the repetition of the line "fall and all"---there are so many wonderful things that come with fall...a breather from the heat and humidity....Halloween, my favorite holiday...
It will be so colorful....where we play tennis, I adopted a Maple tree...it is the most beautiful when it dons its fall colors...
2020 was so rough, hopefully 2021 will not take a turn for the worse and we can just enjoy the orange and black.
I am up for that cinnamon haze....and will join you for that cuppa if don't mind the company.
love this piece,
"fall and all"---

Everyone adores summer but my true love has always been fall. She listens to my sadness in every boring call. Haha. I love the way the leaves look in the fall. All the earthen sleepy colors with a bit of sorrow in them. There is a mysticism in the air. So ancient and primordial. And nature always sings a sadder song in these days. A kind that brings it closer to its rest. Thank you Colacat for your lovely poem.
