Just a Kiss and a Promise

Popcorn clouds in a buttery sunrise

Melting away the darkness of a chocolate sky

Breathe in the scent of fresh mowed lawn

Generously powdered in morning frost

 

Apple crisp bite of an early dawn

Crunching as I walk, leaving imprints scattered

On a multicolored carpet of autumn leaves

Tracks soon covered by the shuffle of time.

 

Summers behind me, lazy days in the sun

Winter is beckoning, promising long cozy nights

Autumn refreshes, invigorates my senses

Just a playful kiss before the year is done.

MM! I love the use of describing the scene like food. It gives a light spin on things, and the wording is short and flavorful. :)

the imagery in this poem is amazing. i love the descriptions here, comparing nature with food. & who doesn't love both? :) the first stanza is my favorite. this has an upbeat, inspiring & hopeful feel to it. great write.
