… spread-out dewy cobwebs glitter
in the nippy, sparkling morning;
shining, baking day,
glowing sunset;
firelit evening, thicker duvet,
central heating system check,    
call-out engineers busy,
fill hot water bottle, so
cosy toes curl, snug,
or microwave a lavender
wheat-filled cushion –
relaxing, warming hug …

There's so much warmth in this poem Rhiannon,  so beautifully written.

Just a collection of thoughts, really, Jenny, but the images that came into my mind thinking of those Indian Summer days were of the night and day contrast. Thank you for your lovely comment. Rhiannon

Makes me want to snuggle up and go to sleep - that's a compliment by the way Rhiannon!

Thanks, Scratch. I had gone back to comment on your poem before I noticed I had comments on this little verse. And yes, I think I too enjoy the idea of getting warm and cosy with relaxed, warm sleep on those cold evenings, after the hot days too! Rhiannon

Mmmm, just what I needed after a hard week's work.  I can feel my muscles loosening.

This was a lovely gentle read Rhiannonw

I'm now gathering up all my supplies ready to  hibernate until Spring.

Now, where did I put that   "...lavender  wheat-filled cushion..." ?
Kind regards.

Hi Rhiannon

You do paint a picture very eloquantly in a few short words. I like the nippy sparkling morning.

Brings back long-ago memories of walking children to school on Autumn term mornings!
