Autumn Brown and Tan
(Now immortalized in slate, at the Isle of Bute Community forest Poetry Nature trail)
The forest wears a new carpet
Different from yesterdays
A mix of dark brown and light tan
And all shades in between
There are occasional flecks
Of moss green and gorse yellow
Like a1970st from the 1970’s
The ones that you couldn’t look
At the pattern when you were
Drunk for fear on motion sickness,
Without alcohol the pattern changes
Every day, as does the texture
Sometimes hard baked pile
Sometimes damp and soft
Then suddenly without warning
The carpet is pure white
Its pile is cold and crisp
I fear winter is upon us
The forest wears a new carpet
Different from yesterdays
A mix of dark brown and light tan
And all shades in between
There are occasional flecks
Of moss green and gorse yellow
Like a1970st from the 1970’s
The ones that you couldn’t look
At the pattern when you were
Drunk for fear on motion sickness,
Without alcohol the pattern changes
Every day, as does the texture
Sometimes hard baked pile
Sometimes damp and soft
Then suddenly without warning
The carpet is pure white
Its pile is cold and crisp
I fear winter is upon us

I love how you referenced the ground as carpet. I guess that's really true if you think about it. Nature is the grandest of all life's precious gifts! So is this a true monument? & if so.. what a tribute!!!

I am now having a love affair. She is beautiful and awesome, non-judgemental, she is kind and gentle, she loves unconditionally, she is always there for me, she always makes me smile even on dark days, she is always pleased to see me, I am always welcomed with open arms, she cares for me as I care for her. she is amazing, miraculous, funny, charming, fertile, modest, She provides all that I need "I shall not want", she is my Lover, my partner, my princess, my queen, and my Goddess. She loves me and I love her and will do so for all eternity for she and I are one.
I know she won't mind me sharing her identity
she is Mother Nature. There is no Other
Thank you kind Pandora (((((((((( HUGS )))))))))) :-)))))))
