The colours are so beautiful around here. Autumn is a very special season and it will soon be over, so let’s savour the rich colours and see if they inspire a poem!
A brass rubbing on our hearts
Trees dipped in kids’ paint
Fall in Canada
There is a super tree picture on Palestine Rose blog. Maybe that will inspire a metaphor or a poem.
The teachest
Sitting by the warm fireside
safe from the maple madness,
I feel the silky satin of my evening dress
and rest my weary head;
Its contents a heavy teachest
holding secrets
the key to which has long since
been tossed away.

warm fireside, sipping red wine
a heavy teachest holding secrets within
silk, satin, drapes and evening dress.
golden start of day
sky in flames at the end of the day…
Beautiful images, Diane. Great for a poem!
Gorgeous photos! Fall has arrived in Korea as well. I plan on taking pictures this week.
I look forward to seeing them, Tina. I haven’t seen Korean countryside before.
Beautiful photos. I’ve heard that Canada’s fall colors are similiar to Arkansas’.
i bet it depends where you live too. As soon as we crossed the border into the US the other day the trees were stunning. Well once you got passed the border high rises and rubbish part lol.
Love the little white poodle backside peeking out!

Me too, Jeanne. There’s a whole story right there in the bushes. Sandy is a Golden Doodle half poodle half golden retriever
Color pockets
Amber sheets
Maple madness

Painter’s delight. I like the colors!
Just got here. Beautiful pictures and metaphors. And beautiful poem. What a lovely way end my day, and go to sleep dreaming of a beautiful fall palatte.
Thanks Penny!
What beautiful pics. We don’t get those colours except in northern New South Wales. It’s spring here…Word Press doesn’t like me. I tried to comment over the weekend on my phone. Now I’m using my twitter act. as it doesn’t let me use blogger grrrrr.
Hope all goes well with you and yours. D
Thanks for struggling through the technical difficulties, Denise. I hope you are well too

Great poem Catherine, makes me want to grab a cup of tea and read something like Wuthering Heights!
That made me laugh, it has to be tea. It’s been ages since I read Wuthering Heights.
lovely poem!
This is a beautiful one.. and it made me feel cozy and protected.
