Scented Leaves

~

We frolic through the scented leaves,

aromas fill the air

Such beauty found as autumn weaves,

these wondrous sights to share

Now wandering a winding path,

while cooler breezes chase

For rosy cheeks the aftermath,

is smiles upon our face

With winter waiting in-between,

we breathe the season’s spice

Of cinnamon and evergreen

and everything that’s nice

For here as maples line the way,

with barren branch the view

Through scented leaves I’ll run and play,

this autumn day with you

Author's Note

Happy Autumn all.

I just loved your last stanza, I had to read it twice,
much enjoyed your write. Nicely composed.

Thank you so much

Happy, indeed. It would be even happier if I were living out scenes like the ones depicted here. In the last line of verse two, you might consider substituting upon for on. It will be more faithful to the meter.

Thanks John, you know I think I read this and then quickly went to edit as per your suggestion and never got back here to say thank you

[John the Baptist]

Quite welcome, my friend.

Another Autumn masterpiece, author willweb, with a more intimate sense of romanticism, fashioned in an enchanting autumn weather. The work feels momentary, romantic, intimate and fun. The Autumn scenery is as another animated, living company on such a swell weathered day.
Thank you for sharing your work, author willweb.
