 As I read your poem, I could hear the leaves rustling, and the Smell of sweet apple cider brewing in the kitchen. It somehow gave me all these flashbacks of eating cinimon cookies and chopping up apples into tiny peices, drizzling sugar on them and popping them into a steaming mug of apple cider. Makes me hungry!And kind of sleepy..........  |

Awww Lyra, this is just so Fall! Today is exactly like the day you've described in this wonderful poem. Nice writing -- hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

This is a most perfect poem describing an autumn day. My crysanthemums are just now opening up and I've leaves all over the yard. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you so much, Warmly, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (10-27-2002 11:18 AM).] |

Little chipmunk - a lovely fall you describe, but alas, I no get to see it for I'm out in the desert. Wonder if fall happens there also? BC |

I love the stanza: "carpets of gold blanket the ground geese in formation, fly southward bound the air is crisp with beckoning cold smoke curls from chimmny's as the year grows old" The whole poem is so lovely. Thank you, it speaks so well of this season. "beautiful"  Electra |

I agree, this is an autumn keeper. I love the crispness in the air, and the golden warm colors of October. |

Wind... thanks for your reply and its nice to meet you. Your reply is strewn with lovely imagery, so you must be a true poet  Marti...I was worried that autumn would shortchange us this year because of the hot dry summer, but she has really come through quite well... and I'm so happy because I might never see another one, so I'm thoroughly enjoying this one  regards2you... thanks so much for your reply and its very nice to meet you. I didn't realize that California had a change of seasons... thanks for the enlightenment Sy... Thanks so much for stopping by, and you must come and visit the autumn leaves sometime Nancy...I agree, thanks so much for replying Lyra |

Bill... thanks so much, I don't know if there is autumn in the desert either... but I think you are about to find out The Chippermunch is getting her scamper back... but she's spending a lot of time in physical therapy... if you can picture that one LOL Barry... I thought that the Carolina's had autumn leaves...I am surprised to hear that they don't. Thanks for your reply Electra...this is a real Kalamazoo autumn poem isn't it? I think we do have the most amazing autumns here... I guess it makes up for the slippery roads in the winter  Sue... thanks so much, and it was a pleasure to speak to you this afternoon... I hope you feel better soon Lyra |
