3 Sept: dVerse Poets Quadrille 207

AI art, misty field with bare tree and full moon in moody dark colours

A Recipe for Autumn

Autumn spins empty stillness.
It’s touched by cold moonlight.
Spins the sun at the horizon,
and fields to prickly stubble.
It’s creeping mist.
It’s brooding fog.
Its leaves lost to trees,
and twigs casting intentions.
Autumn is shadowless days,
and deep bowls of soup.

  6. Autumn is a great time for deep bowl soup. Autumn squash soup or pumpkin bisque.

  7. I have a deep longing for autumn right now, and your poem has brought it on with great comfort, like cozy socks. I love those quick staccato phrases, falling like leaves.

  8. Your words reminded me of Robert Frost’s

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

    But I have promises to keep,   

    And miles to go before I sleep,   

    And miles to go before I sleep.
