Autumn Moods

Old Autumn Grove

You and me

on a blanket in the

shaded breeze,

early fall morning

in flannel,

your head is on

my stomach and

we have books to read

and discussions of the

life we lead...

we've finished our

coffee of nutmeg and clove

as we lay near old autumn grove.

The sun nears noon peak

and before heading home

a final treat we'll seek:

milkshakes of cinnamon

and pumpkin spice flavor

are the first taste of

season's change we savor.

I have work soon

in the afternoon

but the moments

and mornings we treasure

intentionally experiencing

the little fall things

will make all autumn season

with you filled with

joy and with pleasure.
