Driving towards home I saw autumn had gently abandoned a stack of leaves, yellow red and brown piled up by the wind. It was reckoning without sunday walks and a mother softly watching her kid fooling around, defeating autumn and its stern manias. |

My children gave me my own childhood back! We would rake the leaves up in a big pile and then dive in! lol  A lovely autumnal write that brought some pleasant fall memories back ~ of my daughters' childhoods ~ and my own! Thank you! Linda  |

I believe that is one battle where both win. The autumn with it's enticement captures the kid's attention and time and the kid with the 3 count on the pindown. Enjoyable read and the images in my mind were a treat as well. |

Yo Yann, It's great fun to wait until the neighbor is done raking the leaves, and then dive in, and run like hell. Bobby |

Mmmmm, Yann, I enjoyed this immensely. In Durban, South Africa, we hardly notice a change in seasons. That has lots of wonderful advantages like lots and lots of sunshine and blue skies, but I enjoy the disctinct change in seasons as you and others describe them in richly descriptive poetry. Thank you. - Owl |

Dear Owl thank you for the delicate comment...With the global warming I'm afraid they could be only two seasons in Brittany (automn and spring( never cold, never hot)) it is a bit monotonous...I would so much like to live in a sunny country (have they depressions too?) just joking. have a nice day yann |
