what autumn means to me

misty mornings


and fantastic sunsets


butterflies on sun warmed rocks


grasses like sparklers


magical birches


old dogs in fine fettle


evening snacks are free and plentiful


seeds with tree potential


and food for birds


lichen that only grows where the air is clean


dappled leafy light


long shadows


and mushrooms




  none of which are edible

strawberry fruits scattered amongst the brown hues


toffee apples for halloween


cake is always available


beans are planted


and new puppies chew everything


what does autumn mean to you?
