       Fall Traveler
    
With the future twinkling
in each moment past
and fine-day dreaming
in the luscious ‘now’
of pumpkin smiles and
acorn-crunch rambles
through a lovely, soft
rainbow-leaf carpet
‘neath a deep-azure sky
of endless cloud-dancers,
the velvet-blue twilight
  descends…
on this lonely Fall traveler,
in a delicious smoky wind
across a thousand miles
of moon-brushed Autumn
  forest.

Secondhanddreampoet,

This is very nice.  However, I’d leave out the parenthetical.

These marvelous images circle round in my head, inspiring homesickness and wishes about the past. One can almost taste the smell of autumn's sun-warmed fragrances.

Your opening brings to mind Eliot's phrase, "In my end is my beginning" from East Coker, perhaps timely in this season of endings and new beginnings.

You have written here such handsomely crafted images, Poet! Greatly enjoyed...

You truly make me experience what you describe so beautifully!

We didn't have our walk today, so now I travelled with you ...

Love,

makes my blood run faster

I love this poem Bruce
