Fall Poetry

It's poetry time!

Anniversary time too.

A year ago in this month, I wrote a funny Halloween poem called Stubble, Rubble, Boil and Bubble. Before posting it I checked with some talented blogger friends and asked them if they wanted to post Halloween poems with me. Ten of them did and the monthly poetry group was born.

Some months we have quite a few participants, some months we have only a few, but a year later I can tell you that I'm still working on it. I'm still pushing my boundries, trying different types of poems and collaborating with some talented friends.

Each month we get together and pick a theme. This month's theme is Fall.

I hope you enjoy my poem, and that you follow the links at the bottom of this post to the Fall poems of my friends. We all have our own style, which is what makes it so interesting. Enjoy!


Fall

Fall has brought its
Autumn cool.
Layered sweaters,
Lacy leaves.

a leaf from the back yard


A roaring fire while
Under a quilt.
Teams to root for
Until throats are sore.
Monsters and witches
Nevermore.

Far from summer's heat
Autumn retreat.
Lazy days as 
Light fades.
