Summer is over....

Lovely writing Liar.
I read and loved this recently from the opening passage of Peyton Place by Grace Metalious...

"Indian summer is like a woman. Ripe, hotly passionate, but fickle, she comes and goes as she pleases so that one is never sure whether she will come at all, nor for how long she will stay.----

One year, early in October, Indian summer came to a town called Peyton Place. Like a laughing, lovely woman Indian summer came and spread herself over the countryside and made everything hurtfully beautiful."

A few weeks ago at the onset of the first Springlike day down here in the Southern Hemisphere I was compelled to write;


Pale Flowers

In damp

Antipodean gardens

Dark loamy soils chastely await

Spring's warming kiss

As Winter wheezes

His last icy breaths

Jealous and regretful

Reluctant to relinquish

Jasmine and Daphne,

To the loving embrace of the Sun




:) Wishing you a mild winter wherever you are.
 
I loved reading every word you all had to say.

Is quite easy to go through each season as long you do so with a child's anticipation of just how wonderful every thing is or what wonderful things each day will bring.

Someone should do a collection of Autum poems or saying ~ I love they way you all write! You each warm my heart in different ways.

:kiss:
