Summer's

Allure

becoming

sparse,

our

daily

spoonful

of

elixir

slowly

dwindles

to

welcome

a

Winter Moon,

 

soon

amber glow

of fires

will

snake

through

dark

of night,

 

once more

twigs

will

crackle

as

September's

warm

kisses

are not

lost,

but put

to rest

maintaining

a shelter

for the

weary.

The shape of your poem looks like a reminder of the dwindling of summer, and leads into the cosiness of crackling twigs and the indoor warmth of winter rest. Rhiannon

Hi,

It was nice to read this poem as we get into September and I felt quite uplifted by its promise. Hot day yesterday turned very misty today for me and now it is more like the fogs of winter this evening!

Hi again Hilary,

It does seem we are having an Indian Summer one minute and then that Autumn feeling comes upon us the next. I'm looking forward to Autumn, one of my favourite times of the year and I do enjoy snuggling under the quilt on dark nights.

That you felt uplifted by this poem makes it all the more worth while writing.

Many thanks for reading and letting me know.
