I came across a well trodden path

meandering through autumn trees

tempting me to follow its course 

where would it take, I had to see

pass trees laden with their harvest

of nuts and berries for the wildlife

many birds and mammal to find

this secret little haven, so peaceful

catching sight of a squirrel tail

as it leaps from branch to branch

a tree stumps allows a spot to rest

while taking in the beauty of autumn

feeling calm,  at peace with nature

glad I followed this trodden path

I Spy..

It's very cold out there today

for autumn is here to stay

wrapped up mitts and scarf

watching the children laugh

trees in their finest colours

leaves bright just like flowers

look there`s a pile over there

leaves raked up in the square

oh! there`s movement I can see

wondering what that could be

a pair of bright eyes stare out

goodness I nearly gave a shout

what can I see with my little eye

is that a wagging tail I spy

my cheeky little doggy friend

think I better go and apprehend

before he goes and messes that pile

though it would make me smile!

I love the colours of autumn time

now I'm happy to end my rhyme!!

Autumn is a colourful and a beautiful  time of the year, full of the joys of life. Cooler sunny days. it`s still wonderful to be able to enjoy a walk,  appreciate nature and be inspired 🍂🍁🐿

Autumn Morning

Bright autumn mornings
bathed in golden hues
crisp sunlight floods in
what pursuit should we choose?

go walking through the park
to enjoy nature`s beauty
dance amongst vibrant leaves
there`s so much wonder to see

the season of morning mists
fresh breezes to clear the mind
shorter days lead to longer night
a time to chill and unwind

so its time for scarves and gloves 
season signals winter`s on the way
as the earth prepares for the cold
so enjoy this crispy autumn day!

Snatched Moment

A snatched moment 

time to contemplate

step back from reality

in this peaceful place

among calming sounds

that soothe the soul

stillness all around

life can slow down

just for a brief moment!
