It's Nearing Autumn

It’s Nearing Autumn

photography by Kelly Scheppers

 

it’s nearing autumn,

already the wind is turning

 

my cat sleeps insouciantly curled

at the foot of the bed

 

where tonight a blanket will lay

in a horizontal fold.

The cat is fortunate to have a warm blanket against the chill of Autumn; to sleep nestled where it is welcome and protected. Would that we all could be so fortunate. I enjoyed the read.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Protected and loved, without a doubt. Thank you, Fabian.

Love this Kelly - shades of American Poetry Legend William Carlos Williams, who is having something of a revival In the UK atm. Excellent piece of minimalist observation and utterance.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your visit and insight are both much appreciated, Tony. Thank you!

Two reasons, (among many,) why autumn is my favourite season.

The first, the beautiful colours; the second, how it inspires so many equally lovely poems.

Beccy.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, Beccy. It's always a pleasure having your presence here!

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

So snug and soft and cozy 🌹

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's comforting, feeling the wind change with the seasons. Thank you!

Pleasure 🌹

The leaf in the pic was the reason I penned " Mothers hands"
Hope you are well Kelly

The thought of a cat has me sneezing...I'm allergic to their fur.
Autumn has landed here, time for s socks in the morning and central heating in the late evening.
Can picture this in my mind.
Lovely words Kelly.
Hope all is well with you.

All is good here, Gordon. Even better, now that you're here! Take care and keep those toes warm!

So tender, such a beautiful expression of autumn's coming chill. Love the miraculous words and your beautiful image as well.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Craig. Good seeing you here!

Happy autumn, Kelly!

Lovely poem with great visualization. Outstanding job.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm always flattered to garnish a new reader. Thank you so much!

[Paul Bell]

I wonder if cats think to themselves. Why do humans go out in the snow when they could be tucked up in bed. I ask myself that same question many a dark morning.

[Kelly Scheppers]

They must be able to think, right? Lol, I'm still trying to figure that one out. Thanks so much, Paul!
