Food for the soul

 

red maple leaves

blazing fire & frisson

feed

this simple soul


quiet space is growing

as autumn grips the sky

copper & russet 

we fall

on bed warmed by hikes

our footprints invisible

by dying sun



Autumn Leaves

  1. Great use of colour, Grace - as always. I particularly liked the footprints lost as the sun dies. You can feel the night lengthening in this poem.

  4. I see you and Lill went for the same three words and both created a beautiful autumn collage with them. I love the use of colour in your poem and the sound of the fire in ‘fire & frisson / feed…’ I agree with Sarah about the footprints lost as the sun dies, and I felt the night lengthening too.

  13. A beautiful Autumn scene. I am really trying to appreciate the beauty of Autumn this year without getting taken over by the darkness. It's hard, but it is beautiful.

    Autumn is so full of hope and it comes at a right time as salvation to the Covid inconvenience. Wonderful write Grace!
