A Meditation On Autumn

Within the orange colored mist

from the air’s autumn aura

floating leaves sail the moisture

 

the ground has broken into pumpkins

Makes me want to break out the hoodie, although here in phoenix, probably not quite time yet. This evokes that subtle change in the quality of light that comes with autumn. Also the smell of new tough skin jeans for back to school and and the lace of impending romance, at least for me. Really awesome write, it did its job for sure.

I'm happy that this one pleases you, Crowley, and does the job for you.

Cheers,

nice reflection it looks good on my retina autumn is always electric in my mind too Dah love it (the season) most of all now i have to go get some of those salty red pack Indian punkin seeds like the natives used to eat:)

[DAH]

Thanks, Robert, and the natives will be proud of you (tongue in cheek), and you can wash'em down with one of those toxic syrupy, sugary, pumpkin lattes that the cafes serve at this time of the year.

Cheers,
DAH

Can pumpkin pies be far behind? Love the aura to this. Makes me feel melancholy for home!

[DAH]

Get back home before the orange is gone.

Thank you, Kelly!

Excellent brevity here. Intense colour imagery and those pumpkins will stay with my for a long time. Well done.

All soon to break out into yummy pies and funny faces

[DAH]

and the poem, any feelings on that?

[Dave Brown]

I am not great at interpretation and many poems don't penetrate, but to me, this poem seems to lead into the coming orange of autumn's halloween and the gazillion of pumpkins that will soon be accessed.
I think!

[DAH]

Fair enough. Thank you!
