A warm fall day The color changes Mostly still to come I view sunlight filtering Through Poplar leaves Sparkling on dewdrops Enhancing some autumn colors Just beginning to peek Among the deep greens Calmness pervades me Soothing my soul Till I smell cider Cinnamon sugared fried cakes As far removed from Dunkin As Pate from Kentucky chicken And I revel in the season ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

This will carry me through the rest of October. The images are fresh, the wording made me hungry for a candied apple. Good poetry does that you know! Kathleen |

If I were not sitting upon this season, this verse would make me desperately wish for it. After reading, I can feel the grass on my toes and the apple burning on my tongue. This was a wonderful read, Thank you Wilfred! |

Bill I love the sights and smells of this poem. What visions of autumn you spin. As soon as the sun comes up, I'll go out and take a look. Liz |

Rosemary - I thought ALL poets - (as part of the 'artistic' establishment) were by definition 'passionate' - but you're right - those are the top 2 I'm passionate about Thank you!Doreen- ANY non-negative response from you - Is High praise to this hubmle would-be poet - Thank you Elizabeth Cor- Each season brings its beauties and sensory pleasures again and again fresh and new - to keep our souls alive - Thank you Temptress - You are too kind - (to tell the truth I felt like a 'hack' writing greeting card verse when I completed this) The responses tell me otherwise - so I must say thanks! Liz- If I've pleased you - it is but a very partial repayment for the pleasures your poetry has given me - thank you Serenity- Bless you for your kind words - thank you so much |

Paula - Tracie -- CocoBaci- I truly appreciate your responses - While living in the Detroit area there were at least two cider mills that preserved the feel and flavor of Fall as I always want to remember it - a real water wheel to power the press and candied apples, fried cakes, and cider galore! Thank you |

Cinnamon sugared fried cakes As far removed from Dunkin As Pate from Kentucky chicken And I revel in the season - I LOVED this stanza - has such a feel of the south to it, and a reminder of how important the sense of smell is to memory. Corinne |
