Writing

Late Autumn

Posted by lenleatherwood on

Walking through the woods

Engulfed in orange

Leaves cascade from the trees

Each a slight variation

Tangerine, burnt amber, cantaloupe

Ginger, apricot, honey, rust

I step on a crunchy carpet 

as I saunter down the path

The gray days of winter are coming

But today is only orange
