FWF – Free Write Friday – Autumn

  foliage – amber – wicker – aroma – sweater – cocoa

 

The leaves fall in heaps on the floor,

Sweet aroma of dew mixing with Autumn’s promise.

 

Deep pinks, reds, ambers and  browns.

The deep rich orange,

Amber jewellery displayed on trays, stall after stall

in the marketplace in Poland.

Brown leaves, the colour of burnt cocoa.

 

Children collect twigs to make wicker wands,

Chase each other around

kicking up the leaves.

 

No time to mourn the Summer,

Autumn has started her dance.

Dressed in a different shade,

Accessorised foliage

changes,

just as we

change from our summer clothes to

Sweaters.
