Before the day

glows with favour

& my eyes begin

to show movement

the wind is

soft upon my face.

 

I can smell apples

from the tree

above me.

 

Tenting in the

Fall may be outrageous

yet adventurous

& full of being alive-

 

good morning... everyone.

You smell the apples, but did one drop down on you?! Rhiannon

Thanks for the slap on the cheek, R. I cannot bring all my words to the left edge nor remove the blackened letters. Older age beginning to affect memory, but i still wish to write. Cheers. -R

Bit puzzled, Richard. Didn't mean any rebuke or criticism - or did you mean a joke about the apple 'slapping your cheek'?!  I was just amused because you pictured yourself under the apple tree, enjoying their smell, and talking about the 'fall' being  adventurous, and so wondered whether you had a bump suddenly from one descending.

I hadn't noticed the indents and the bold actually, or thought about it. It doesn't affect the verse.

Christian greeings, enjoy your memories and writing and fellowship, Rhiannon

Accentuate the positive in a new poem whenever you feel down. Works for me. Chimo.
