i know we’ll all
have our winters to face,
and for some, dark skies
may be just down the road—
but today, my hope is for light,
for rest on the journey,
and a place to sip sweet cider
with hints of cinnamon and clove
and autumn’s smile
to come and sit with us,
like a covering of colorful snow,
staying as long as it likes

nice....autumn is like the sigh for me...a comforting chance to breathe...that is what i feel in your words as well....and i do enjoy some mulled cider...smiles.
My most favorite time of year...I love this ode to autumn :)
You made my day. Beautiful lines and a breath taking photograph.
I like the part about all of us having our winters to face. It seems like everyone responds a little different to this time of year. Well done.
for rest on the journey,- Beautifully written with that feeling that Autumn is the place to stop and enjoy creations colours before the winter's white.
I like winter very much..here in our country it's a rare feeling to stay in cold. But autumn is good too. :)
i love the drinking colors and taking a deep breath before the fading of the light...enjoying every single sun ray...
Jennifer, I hope you don't mind if I share your beautiful hope with you!! Truly lovely thoughts.
Love that part of the autumn.. soon enough it turns ugly...
and I love your poem
love this..my favorite season is autumn for the very things you mention..sipping cider with cinnamon on a brisk eve..the very nature of fall is indicative of repose..lovely poem
and autumn’s smile
to come and sit with us,
Simply beautiful for a poetic expression. It speaks to me.
you inspired me to get in some apple cider... :)
autumn brings pure meditation, and excellence.
This is awesome!
:)
What a lovely, serene piece, Jennifer, with feel-good uplifting images. The words: “like a covering of colorful snow” really resonated with me. I have seen a lot of snow, in my life and, when the fall and early winter sun hit just right, it is, indeed, colorful and breathtakingly magical – the perfect simili for a wish. The photograph is beautiful and compliments the poem, perfectly. A very special post.
I look at autumn the same way--a special kind of light fills everything. Good write.>KB
oh how lovely - your poem's just what my day needed, with its
"hints of cinnamon and clove
and autumn’s smile"
Thank you
Such a lovely & light painting of early autumn ~ And the colors in your picture are gorgeous ~
enjoyed this poem and I would enjoy an autumn day sipping some sweet cider
Cinnamon, cloves and colorful snow says it all!
A breath of Autumn that resuscitates! Colors leap from your words! Enjoyable beyond belief!
vibrant details in the 2nd verse, Jennifer, bring this pen into sharp focus, letting us sit and see with you.
nice ... really liked the last lines "autumn's smile" coming to sit great imagery - I felt the breath of autumn in that.
Beautiful description of autumn Jennifer! Sipping sweet cider sounds wonderful.
Love the picture as well.
This is lovely - and now I want some cider....! :)
This is a comforting piece. :-)
This is beautiful poetry, Jennifer. So very true that we all have our winters to face, but we really need to take time to appreciate the beauty (sights, smells, tastes) of autumn along the way. I love the image of sipping sweet cider & the mood of hopefulness.
Love the thought of "autumn's smile" Jennifer. It felt like that today on the west coast of Scotland. Beautiful autumnal sunshine. Long may it continue!
Sitting within Autumn's smile... natures changing face... that sip of cider... all seasons have their -own- glow; the pending births.
leaves gather
around these old headstones
a new breath
__Lovely! Enjoy each season's change, and within each change... a promise of the new arrival. _m
I hate to copy what others have said, but I agree that this is "lovely."
Thank you for the sip of sweet cider: just what I need!
P.S. Your posts haven't been showing up in my feed.... Hmm, haven't any idea why not....
Such a comforting "time out" poem - autumn really is only here for a short time and we must sit and rest, admire her!
Soon the colours of autumn will be taken over by soft white wineter:)
