Hey guys, I want to issue a challenge to you. We haven't been writing much lately...but Autumn is coming so why don't we all try to write something about it.
Poems, stories, Haiku, anything even a picture from close to where you live.
How about it? Summer is almost over, we need to begin a new season and try to turn over a new leaf *pun intended* Lol.
Come on gang, you are all good writers. Let's do it!

Autumn
 
 
Autumn comes in and the colors astound!  
She shows up in a dress of golden-red brown.
Fragrances warm and spicy signal her wake,
The harvest moon shines over fields and the lake.
 
Time for spiced cider and sweet pumpkin pie,
Haystacks, and scarecrows and witches that fly.
Fall leaves burn brightly as we sit around
Bonfires and certainly football abounds.
 
Of all of the seasons I love autumn best,
Like the creatures in forests I long for my nest.
For what could be better than to be warm inside
When the chill night of winter makes autumn its bride.

That is a beautiful poem Anita, I especially love the wording in the last two lines!  Outstanding!   Great meter and rhyme too!  Very vivid portrayal of autumn in all its glory.  That pic you used really set the overall tone.  I love it when they turn red, rather than just a dull yellow! *S*

Dale,
First of all thank you for your comment. I just knew you were ill! I was worried when I didn't see on....but I figured that something had happened.
They still haven't found you a liver? I wish they would so you would feel better and get well. I continue to pray for that. Couldn't do with ya!
Anita

Thank you so much Sassy. I know I have not been on lately as the same time as you. My schedule has changed somewhat with getting up later, and stuff.
I will try to catch you soon as I can. I will try to pick a tag too.
As you can see I have been writing again, so have been busy with that.
Have to do it while the inspiration is hot so to speak.
Take care,
Anita
