Autumn Soon Will Be Here!

Autumn is always a favorite time of year.  It brings clear, crisp days after the haze of late summer.  The nights will be a little cooler and leaves dress in shades of red with gold.  Ideas for stories and poems burst all around.


With Autumn a quiet moment wraps you in the whispers of crackling leaves.  The porch calls for you to linger with a cup of Earl Grey tea and write down those words filling your mind. Where will you travel today?  Down the rabbit hole, over the moon in romance or slip into a deep well of mystery?


You might write for your own pleasure or to publish.  Maybe you keep a journal for life's events or just a reminder of the day.  Sometimes it's writing letters to friends or family.  If you enjoy writing Autumn is the perfect time.   Get a cup of tea, enjoy the moment and write a few words!

Here's one of my poems for Autumn.

DREAMS DROPPED FROM STORMS

 

You wait for the storm.

A strange excitement wraps around the spine

and tangos with your body.

Wind barges though an open door

and whips papers from the kitchen table.  

Light weight reams of words

scattered like pieces of a shattered dream.

Outside autumn colors yellow, orange and red

crackling in the wind.

Picked up they become a whirlwind of color

spiraling down the road.

You race to the door.

Do you shut it or dance with the wind?

Smiles and Sunshine,

 Belinda
