I slid across

our side-walk until

a magic carpet

of leaves hoisted me onto

the wind-

 

it’s a hot summer

night on the

edge of farewell

as Autumn’s flavour arrives

determined to keep

earlier torrid days

tucked away

at least

for a season.

What a lovely thought, being carried away on a magic carpet of leaves. I just love the cooler Autumn conditions with the leaves changing colour, and that freshness in the air.

Great poem Richard.

Jenny.

I agree with Jenny about your leaves being a magic carpet, specially where you are with your maple trees. A gorgeous image. I hope you have a beautiful Autumn
