Huge forest of oak trees arched in age A goodly pinch of lightning bugs Just a couple of pumpkins Marshmallows & sticks Half a dozen candles A stacked bonfire One warm sun ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ Hear the owls & critters about the camp The sun lowering all warm and amber Carving funny faces into pumpkins Stack the wood in a nice high pile Skewer loads of marshmallows Leaves crunching underfoot Sun reaching the horizon ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆
Creepy shadows made by the setting sun Spooky faces smelling of roasted veg Bonfire spitting and crackling away Marshmallows charring over fire Heart is full during this time I love this spooky recipe Halloween Night! ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆

Re:Zydha's Challenge - Autumn Recipe Date Posted:25-10-2020 12:05Copy HTML Ah Sacha, What a lovely picture to paint of hallowe'en night, but without all the nastiness that's usually associated with it; the visual form your poem takes is like a set of inverted trees, perhaps shaking out all the hidden witches and goblins and other "seasonal nasties" trying to hide and pounce on sweet innocents like you! I love it, dad x Could do with a glass of rosé!

Sometimes I drive home and it is still and dry, full moon and perfect crunchy leaves, excellent halloween weather :) then it is lovely and autumnal in the lovliest way, very cute (goblins and witches are still allowed) x

Re:Zydha's Challenge - Autumn Recipe Date Posted:29-10-2020 08:50Copy HTML Sacha, I'll have a second go at commenting on this piece. (don't ask what I did with the first comment)
A pleasant read to autumn nights without the bumps and things that dwell in the dark...Tony (potleek)
