It's only Make Believe

Chasing butterflies with aurora

Running through the autumn trees 

on my favourite steed... 

with my pixie friend astride...

we wander along the wooded trail  

Our hearts skip beats as 

moments fleet toward the 

meadow sweet with mowed hay  

for cattle and horses mainstay... 

Wild geese in formation follow 

signs of cooler times when 

nature knows the way to 

warmer climes... 

As snowflakes stay awhile 

my pixie friend and I will run 

until the Aurora Australis appear 

in the southern hemisphere...

A few times I've used "Magic Carpet Ride" motif in some poems becuz I'm enthralled with the idea of being able to fly away & escape the doldrums of real life. Here, you offer a fresh new version on one of my favorite themes . . . pixies galloping toward the lights (new to me, finding out there's a southern version!) I love your very unexpected combinations of imagery & sensations (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

dear Marie... how charming to have you visit an older poem that seems many moons ago... now we are in another Autumn where time is moving more slowly as is many aspects of our life. The leaves will still change color and we will enjoy the season of being thankful and then the Thanksgiving prayers in November... followed by Christmas and Joy... with and Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men..Love and Blessings, Pat.

dear pat you have depicted the changes and adjustments we all make with Mother nature's ever changing presence, very well.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... Since you live in Australia,
have you seen the Aurora Australis in the
Southern Hemisphere ? as ever, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Not as good as the photographers capture it, we live in the hills, too many trees.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew, perhaps if you read "It's only Make Believe"
again, you will read my thank you comment which appeared
directly under my poem. The fairies and pixies cast a spell. truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Aurora australis does happen in the southern hemisphere with different light patterns occurring. I've seen the slow motion photos depicting this in documentaries. Not a fairy tale like you think Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... I have seen videos of
Aurora Borealis in the Northern hemisphere,
such as Alaska, however I was fascinated
when I discovered on Google that there were
even more colors in the sky in Australia.
The fantasy in my poem involves the Pixies.
Although I have met people who I thought
were pixies. May your days be magical.
truly, Pat

dear John, I appreciate your review of
"It's only Make Believe". By tapping in the photo,
the graphic becomes larger. I was very inspired to
pen this poem. Glad you enjoyed the ride. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

I did dear friend and you are welcome.

dear poets... It's that time of year, when we yearn for warmer climes
in the southern hemisphere where Aurora Australis may appear...
truly, Pat
