Sugar-Coated Fancies

since I’ve maters
planted in me yard
and I’ve got some taters
to serve up wi’ some chard

I find meself more ready
to be seein’ autumn’s
sweet sugar-coated fancies
in a morning’s hoarfrost

when all the leaves and stems
and the trees and shrubs around
are coated in a glist’ning frost
from their tops down to the ground

it’s like a fairy land
if  ye duno’ hae to drive
an’ you’re not a countin’ on
your veggies to survive

when ever’thin’s covered
as with a sweet doughnut’s glaze
in a sugar-coated frosting
of a pre-winter’s phase

when ye slip on wool stockin’s
to warm up your toes
and reflected in the mirror
is a rosied up nose

your granny has her shawl
wrapped close around her ears
as ye snuggle by the fire
in that lovely atmosphere

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

This is a delightful piece--and I like how your sense of humour comes shining through.

And by the way, you indeed, created a "lovely atmosphere"!

(giggles in delight) Well, I would love to have a shawl wrapped around me anytime when I am relaxing or reading! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love this sugar-frosted fantasy, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
