A Weekend in Fall

Just some thoughts about Autumn

  

                            ‘A weekend in Fall’

                       Sleeping in late from Dandelion Dreams

                            Early morning coffee with toast and sweet cream

                                 Barren gold leaves that blanket the lawn

                                     Ice covered glass and duvets of fawn

 

                                   No need to change from slumber attire

                             Bed socks with cardigans love a roaring red fire

                                  No thoughts of work or weekly routines

                                  Forgotten idle talk from office canteens

 

                                  Gone is the stress of a motorway drive

                                    Being thankful to god that I am alive

                             To be part of a world that’s filled with such awe

                           Because there’s nothing I love more than a weekend in fall

Love this different take on Autumn, which for me is the most lovely of all the seasons.

Beautiful poem, there is nothing more inspiring than a autumn day, sweat cream with coffee and a crackling fire.
I love it.

Just came across your laid back write ... must be nice to relax from stress and a fast weekday pace! Poetically summed up with reflective poetical panache … :-)

[Will Neill]

"Bed socks with cardigans love a roaring red fire"
...no truer words were ever penned!

How fortunate I was to find this today! I agree with Sam...more coffee, please!

[Will Neill]

Thanks Kelly, just a bit of idle fun I'm afraid, and no where near on a par with you-

[Samuel Dickens]

And I did enjoy it, Will. With all the rotteness in the world, it's a joyful thing to experience a lazy autumn day in bed. More coffee, please.

[Will Neill]

Thanks Sam, you're a writerscafe treasure.

I did enjoy this as we are at the point of losing fall and even had an inch of snow that lasted only one day. Just a forecast of what is to come. Valentine
