An Old Fashioned Carriage Ride

Autumn colors in Kaleideoscope Dreams 

The glow of Orange Pumpkins with 

Chrysanthemum Roses.. . 

Black Stallions trotting in Carriages 

carrying Lovers to provocative places...  

The song of the Whippoorwill with 

Irving Berlin Rhapsodies... 

 

Reviews

[Ayvid N]

I went back to an age of my dreams. When carriages were horse-drawn. The evenings brought light from the glow of lanterns and the gardens were so elaborate and beautiful. Those times still exist somewhere, I'm sure. Thank you for this beautiful poem, dear Pat.

[Tom]

Such a romantic carriage ride, love sure to blossom amongst such a seasonal, scenic setting ..

Delighful penning Patricai 🏆

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Tom... thank you for a romantic review. The old-fashioned ways to travel Intrigue my desire of a more simple way of Life... where time slows to a musical and romantic persuasion. May the Autumn and Winter seasons keep you by a warm Hearth with a Rum Toddy and good friends. gently, Pat

[emmajoygreen]

Rum Toddy.. hmnnn, thinking.. a glass of red wine is my preference for now. Come Winter, a Rum Toddy would be deliciously delicious! Might even have two

[Tom]

Lol, I'll toost to that 🥂

[emmajoygreen]

That's Tom!!! Saying nowt!

[Patricia Wedel]

Make that three for Rum Toddy... Tom, Em and me...
when Winter Snow Birds spread their Wings... we can Dream...

[Tom]

Sounds absolutely delightful, let's go for it!! 🥂🥂🥂

Where, when and what time, m' dearios!

dear Em.. When Senator John Warner married Elizabeth Taylor some years ago, we visited a Pub close to their Home in Middleburg, Virginia. Elizabeth may not have been so bored when John was at the Senate in our Capitol so much of the Time... if she only had been fortunate to meet the thereof us at the Pub for a Hot Rum Toddy while was Snowing over the Fields where they lived. There was a Hotel near by. Missed opportunities the Poets do not have a Congressional Badge and Agenda. I "Rest" my Case. softly, Pat

[Ken Simm.]

What a lovely atmospheric descriptive piece. Full of just the right amount of mystique and romance.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Ken... I love Mystique and romance... as much as the Dance. I appreciate your lovely Review. gently, Pat

[Neville]

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Neville... I just love the colors of Autumn as the Leaves turn into gold and copper Wings that fly like flying saucers on their way to outer space. gently, Pat

' Black galloping Horses in Carriages
carrying Lovers to provocative places.. ;

You have created such romantic and charming scenes. Charm is sadly lacking in many places but not Austria or Hungary where the carriages rides followed by a cup of coffee and slices of torte or similar, could certainly be provocative! Lovely poem, Pat - as ever. Love to you both, take care, keep safe, m' lovelies.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Em... you speak like Violins with the Soul of the Blue Danube ... whereby we shall meet for Wine and crumpets when the Rivers meet on the Continent. The Romance and the Dance of People past and present. I am Honored by your memories. softly, Pat

[emmajoygreen]

Yes please, Pat!! Loved that part of Europe. the architecture all around, plus the lesser known art (more modern) galleries in Hungary are brilliant.
If only we could, dear lady.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Em... My Father's family were born in Hungary... My grandfather Bill was a Cobbler, as well as his oldest Son and my Father... they came to America via The Statue of Liberty... and set up Shoe Shops in West Virginia, USA where I was born. I later grew up in Maryland, USA. My Mother played Blue Danube Waltz's and a Yellow Canary sang along. When our World settles ... whereby Culture will be a Vocation of Art and Poetry, as well as Symphonies... then we can Travel and meet along the Blue Danube.
Heaven may be on this Earth. Amen, Pat

[emmajoygreen]

What a long and interesting history you have, dear lady. Had forgotten your heritage in the USA had originated from Hungary, Beautiful country but did not see enough of it.. went on an architecture/ art trip from uni' but were tied to a schedule. there.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... We are always Wealthy with Culture and Art. Poetry and Poets share their Wealth and we are Grateful. gently, Pat

[John the Baptist]

A nice offering for the incoming season. But I must ask, what are "provocative places?"

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest John... provocative places would be where the Breeze moves the leaves and inhibitions cease to be.... where the thunder subsides and rain refreshes the Chrysanthemums and Pumpkins when twilight kisses become Secret rendezvous... softly, Pat

[Lorry]

I wonder Pat, if that music is truly playing or is it just in the heads of those caught up in the romance of autumn?
Carriages

carrying Lovers to provocative places... What a great line, that let's the reader decide if this is rated or not! 😊
And I must mention your use of one of my favourite words, kaleidoscope, which were practically invented for autumn 😊

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Lorry... galloping Horses have an unforgettable Tune.. along with a Nightengale Song...

Irving Berlin would approve of the the Romantic Persuasion. I always enjoy your touch of Moon Glow..
tenderly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Lorry for your visit of Autumn Arias of Aristotle's mysteries... gently, Pat

[FGFRANKLIN]

This reads like a Norman Rockwell painting. Very nice and artistically romantic. I very much enjoyed.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Fabian... Norman Rockwell sketched many Original scenarios ... including Thanksgiving and Autumn. I appreciate your Artistic impression.
May the Autumn leaves play the sound of Piano keys as you begin to dance with the Acorns as they drop from Old Oaks for longevity. gently, Pat

"provacative places" create provacative thoughts"----

and Berlin Rhapsodies provide the soundtrack.

Autumn, the best time of the year.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jacob.. Autumn sets the Stage for Halloween when Ghosts and Goblins tease the Temptresses when Hurricanes become dangerous. Romance controls the Voracity of the Lover. Irving Berlin was a true Romantic. Thank you for stopping by the Skeleton's version of Autumn. gently, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear friends... Romance begins as Autumn entertains Lovers...
Freedom flows as the songs of the Whippoorwills... the Author, Pat
