Autumn is also called fall because that's what leaves do. 😁🍂

Nocturnal desires
hawks fly over fires
bunches of flowers
gripped in soft flesh
burning
Autumn leaves falling
the white smoke of bonfires
reaching to the skies
but still I await that first kiss

This poem and I stubbornly looked at each other for a day or two. Today we met in the middle.
I love Autumn, but there is always that one guy.
@daveashleypoet.bsky.social another one for the #Autumnal #PoetsOfDoom collection.
I hope my #RhymeRoyal impresses you enough to earn me a hobnob once I'm off this stupid diet!

the pinelands won’t tell you
it’s fall
with color
unless they’re flooding
the berry bogs
or hawking pumpkins
on the county road
Getting into a #poetsofdoom #autumnal mood with The Kinks, Autumn Almanac.
Ray Davies is one of the greatest songwriters of all time, and this has one of my favourite couplets in a pop song ever: "Oh, my poor rheumatic back / Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac"
Okay pilgrims I’m headed for the cookie jar.

Fresh out of the oven; I have baked you a fall-flavoured villanelle (sorry about the bacon, Jen, I needed it for "flitches" 🥺🤷♀️) Eat it while it's hot 🥧

Summer’s forgotten memory
manifests itself
when leaves turn brown
lain forlornly on the ground
with an autumn scent
that fills the air
the demise is obvious
with those walks we take
as we trudge through sodden ground
full of decay

Behold the autumnal tree
With her crown turning to gold
Natural beauty I see
Behold the autumnal tree
Enjoy and feeling carefree
Heralding the coming cold
Behold the autumnal tree
With her crown turning to gold
Whooshing winds pushing
Scattered leaves, satisfying
Autumnal whispers.
