It's time for apples and pumpkins Baked up in a pie The winds to start stinging Bringing tears to your eye Vibrant fall colors Drizzle down from the trees Boxes of tissues Comfort nose when we sneeze Air turns a bit crisper Aromas drift from the leaves Shorts packed away now It's time for long sleeves Covers on windows Rakes lie in the yard Bracing for snow 'Cause winters are hard Soups on the stovetop To warm up the soul Big tators and carrots Steam rises from bowl Heat on in houses Warm blankets on beds Warming toes by the fire Cuddled up in our spreads It's time for apples and pumpkins Vibrant leaves on the trees Hot cider and chocolate As we brace for the freeze <*\\\>< Life may have influenced who we R, but we're responsible for what we become. I don't question YOUR existance- GOD [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 10-07-2001).] |

Heat on in houses Warm blankets on beds Warming toes by the fire Cuddled up in our spreads It's time for apples and pumpkins Vibrant leaves on the trees Hot cider and chocolate As we brace for the freeze ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just love this!! On a night where it will dip below freezing here....throw another log on the fire...Mmmm smell the hot cider and pumpkin pie? I do! Well done. ~NancyLee~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

Wonderful write ... I'm eager for pumpkin pies and steaming bowls of winter stew and hot apple cinnamon cider and ... I think I'll go get something to eat now. Enjoyed the read. |

Very good, perfect depiction of the crisp feel in the air. If only it would stay here, and not get to that other, horrible cold, windy level. Sigh.. Beautiful poem. Sandra |
