Gathering For Autumn
~*~

Summer days are ending,
and cool days are beginning.
Leaves will soon swirl around my feet
in a colorful blaze of orange, red and gold.
I can hear the laughter of children
as they pounce on leaf filled pumpkin shaped bags,
and see squirrels chattering to one another
haggling over plump acorns.
I can feel the warmth of apple cider
sliding down my throat,
and feel the golden heat
from a fireplace tickling my feet,
and the warmth of a kiss,
that sends my heart afloat.
Sometimes I think the heat of summer will never end,
but would I want it to cease?
No, I would miss the music of change,
and the gathering of color filled thoughts.

Simply beautiful. Autumn is my favorite time of year. The time of renewal. You've captured it well.

Ya know.......sometimes your poetry just hits a soft nerve of inspire and the following is a great example

No, I would miss the music of change,
and the gathering of color filled thoughts

Now tell me that isn't a poem begging to be written on it's own.  Such beautiful images in those two lines alone not to mention the wonderful ones spattered throughout your entire verse.  I applaud you and BEG (hey...it ain't often I beg) of you to turn those two lines into one of it's own.  Beautiful write and up to the top with this one.

This is very pretty. I love autumn, too.

You look inside my wild mind
never knowing what you'll find
still I want you all the time
yeah I do
'cause you get me
