Autumn in New England

Would it be autumn in New England
If a chill didn’t sweep the day?
Or if purple, red and amber mums
Were not in full display?

Would October be remembered
If the maple, spruce or oak
Were not garnished by the hand that wove
Their multi-colored cloak?

Would the day bestow such glory
Without wine-red berry bogs
Or if warm abodes didn’t harbor
Stacked up cords of winter logs?

Would the season be as welcome
To a soul in deep dismay
If the mist didn’t rise so sweetly
From the fringe of Buzzard’s Bay?

Your allure has not diminished,
Charming towns of old Cape Cod,
Nor the streets of lovely Falmouth
Painted by the hand of God

Thank you, Nan, for the wonderful days in Falmouth, and to you, poet friends who have responded. No poem could do justice to lovely Cape Cod
THank you

(smiles) Sadly, I have never gotten to see Cape Cod yet and dream so much of going up to New England and beholding the beauty there, as I believe every place has something special about it! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you paint autumn with pure heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

LovelyLizzyLady~
You pen it so beautifully, I could see that 'multi-colored cloak'~

And just today I'm watching my sister's hubby add on a room AND I gifted her with two stained glass windows from an antique cottage in Cape Cod~

Lovely to see you my friend~
