Sip of Autumn~

Sip of cider between thoughts..
a Fall remembered upon cat-tails of hope,
of trees hanging fire,
a scarecrows wink
at pumpkins bulging with delight.

That wonderful feeling of leaves
that burn forever,
burn't offerings of life and smoky love.

Hands in the pockets of his warm jacket,
a harvest of sweet obscenities whispered
at his back.

come fly..let us fly with the grey geese
as they depart through a chilly sky,
one last cry
to apple cider time.

A truly lovely "sip of autumn" Jan, but I must admit, this I quoted lead me to the most provocative of interpretations. Can you see me smiling when I say that? Should I be smiling,...sort of?

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

Oh hell, Ari . . . Smile you devil, I'm thinking the same thoughts and I'm smiling broadly! Ah, Jan . . . This was a pure pleasure to read.

Pretty poetry from a pretty lady!

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...not like the passengers screaming in the back of his car.

I'm one of those that enjoys the scent of burning leaves, the taste of hard cider and fine poetry. You possess a gentle pen Miss Jan, very much in tune with that which surrounds you,. The good and the bad. Forgive my sounding like a fortune cookie.
