Autumn is a time That brings to mind Feelings from the past... A cool wind blows For these two daring souls Finding pictures that they know will last... And there's a feeling in the air -- A sense of adventure -- A distinct zephyr of chimney pine... With their scarves around their throats And their hands inside their coats, Then night's age but a quarter to nine. And their Topsiders crack the golden leaves below As the pines Sway in time To the autumn wind's flow There's a halo 'round the moon shining overhead As the clouds Cast their shrouds Upon Heaven's starbed. Autumn is a time That brings to mind Moments of days gone by... The sun's golden rays In the pre-twilight phase Of a day moving closer to night... And the color of the leaves That have fallen from the trees To run freely along the path, Like the gold in her hair Draping her back so bare, Or the tan of her skin from the bath. An ensemble of toads at the Reservoir Serenades The escapades Of the two, from afar With the rumble of the ocean, faintly heard to the West As the two Picture who It was that made autumn best...

My favorite, always, SEA. The other seasons are trivial in comparison... Thank you. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

My favorite time, too. This sounds like autumn in New Hampshire, which is the ONLY good season here. Its 95 here tomorrow. And 0 in Winter. Ah, take me back to California.. Nice poem, Mark, you are able to inspire many thoughts with your poems. Sandra |

I've always wondered what an eastcoast autumn must be like in person... it's in the 80's & 90's here too, only to get hotter through October. That's a high compliment -- to be able to inspire others... that's part of what this place is all about, right? Thanks, Sandra. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
