My Niche~ I am an Autumn Woman, give me a quiet cozy spot with a view of gorgeous trees speaking a calico-sienna language as they drop their gifts to the wind. Give me fuzzy socks, a warm fire, a hot drink on a crisp Fall day..the kind of day that lets you inhale all its earthy scents & secrets as the chill of dusk settles in for the night. I'll need a fresh notebook ready for ink, to write..and jot down puzzle-piece-thoughts for future Poems, throw in a good book for later, & I will be in all my glory, content & October wistful while leaves cocoon my door-step. © Augustsky |

Ahhhh... Awesome write - my favorite of yours to this point. I can see you down on Royal St., New Orleans, second floor, sitting beneath 15ft ceilings, blues from Bourbon St. drifting though half-open balcony doors . . .'Stormy Monday' the melody. . . Yeah, and I long to be there too. . . j. |

Well..Thank you for the nice compliment in reply J. As for Royal St., that's quite a jump from the little cabin type house I thought of while writing my Poem lol. Sounds interesting.. Sky~ Autumn.. |

Sky, I did think about that 'jump' before I posted, then thought,let's be a little more adventurous...heh, heh. Almost threw a little Marie Laveau into the mix but decided better to quit while ahead. j. |

Sky, You had my mouth watering for a cup of hot apple cider and captured my heart with fuzzy socks. Then you blew my mind with "while leaves cocoon my door-step." Love this~! ~L |

You definitely give perspective to those of us who tend to dwell in the dark. Stop us in our anxiety-filled tracks and remind us to breathe. If I had to describe this in one word, it would be peace. Have a few of those notion-filled notebooks laying around myself. |

"Peace"..How lovely for you to say that, & that's how it felt in the moment, but like everyone there are other times when a darkened corner is my retreat. Thank you Poet Michael.. Sky~ Autumn.. |
