Fall vibes
Fuzzy socks
long-sleeved pajamas
extra blanket
at bedtime
So-dark mornings
one more snooze button
chilled kitchen
warm cinnamon-scented coffee
Crisp sunrises
invoke deep breathing
skies of pale blues
or stormy grays
Warm sunsets
last of the mosquitoes lurking
fewer birds at the feeder
plants dug up by hoarding squirrels
Children focused
on costumes and candy
adults already shopping
for Christmas
Calendar checks
trips planned
who's-cooking-the-turkey
pumpkin pie, apple, or both
Cardigans on rotation
coats at the ready
hats and mittens
not far behind
Fall vibes.
Yes! Fall vibes! I love this slice - I just started to feel those vibes this week and putting on my sweatshirt this morning to have my coffee felt oh so cozy! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour fall vibes are right on target, Chris. I think you could create an image poem using a few of your stanzas and a beautiful background image. I am getting ready to send an invitation to join me in celebrating autumn with a new gallery.
ReplyDeleteSo-dark mornings, cinnamon-scented coffee, crisp sunrises that invoke deep breathing - you capture the season so well, Chris. I, too, celebrate cardigans on rotation, the coming of the holidays, and the departure of mosquitoes!
