Thanksgiving dinner. Yum, yum.

Ron

Imbibing nature's autumn calories, Autumn's Au Jus is a shapeshifter. Brisk breath-snapping, honking into the wild blue yonder en route to the fertility goddess...spring goslings...

Sage

I know exactly what you mean, Jude!

A huge flock of geese flew across our roof, in their instinctive V pattern, heading south - and they were so close, I gasped! [I was standing at the side door, which has a full length panel of glass] I was so mesmerized, that instead of photographing them, I "flew to the horizon" with them, and then, looked back at me, looking at them!

But I never wondered if I looked edible..now therein, is... the crunch :)

Autumn is my season of seasons, too. Great write, Jude!

Love, Rhonda

Robert this is exceptional writing. Your imagery is flawless and fills your readers with the same awe and amazement. Again, exceptional.
Love,
CJ

Lungs at full capacity on this one. Oh, I breathe in, refreshed, exhale, then lick my tongue along the rim of your verses.

very well written...

Chrissy

This is glorious, as my favorite season deserves such a fantastic poem as you have written! Great last line which everyone knows the answer to;-)ET

You make autumn taste good, but I'll pass on the last line LOL

LOL...I have a feeling you already know the answer. No point in looking down at the reviews, I'm sure all the women said yes. This is a very good poem. You have an unlimited perspective Jude. You are very talented. ~ Sara

If course you do Robert...hmmmm the sweet voice...delectable...the icing of the mist is tastier when your eyes lay witness to all your senses....as they open.

I know the feel'n.

Susan

Beautiful sights sounds and smells of autumn served up by the master of mother nature writes.

Fee

Nice development of thought and the ending does it... as long they are not vultures. LOL

Edible? Yuck!

But ... this write Robert was a feast for the soul in its splendiferous imagery.

Autumn is a beautiful season.......but it is so much more isn't it? Loved the descriptions and now I must leave the den for a few mintues to get a banana sundae :-)

Mesmerising poetry and flavorful imagery.

Edilble...Yes!!

Whoo...just kidding!!

Lovely offering to the eye!!

Love Tinka :)

Wonderul write

A soul appeasing look at the beauty of Autumn Jude...beautiful

Carole

LOL, I dare not say a thing about the last line but The H may lol
I find autumn a paradox, love the colours, but find its atmosphere a bit sad, like the last goodbye before the bleakness of a cloud covered five months..

An appetising Autumn offering which is totally edible, superb Jude.

You've cooked up quite an Ode to Autumn here, Robert.

The colors of Autumn are the treat that makes the snap of cold in the air a pleasure and the bounty of the harvest, delivers us those tempting soups, stews and pies that fill our body and soul with the comfort of times gone by. Autumn is a season of pleanty and of the fruitation of the efforts that began in spring. This season always reminds me that the hunkering down of winter is not far away and that the time to rest and for quiet activities is soon to be upon us. Can you tell that autumn is my favorite season? I love the smell of burning leaves and the bite of the wind upon my face. Your images are glorious, Jude, and this poem simply excellent.
Take care,
Sherry

A great display of your love for the seasonal change and how it can affect one.

Bright words fail me this brisk and clear morning, but my imagination has digested your keen report on food sources for this time of year. Plese know that you and they make my day begin in a most thankful manner. Happy Autumn to Jude and his many hungry readers ! ! ! - Bill

Now I know why you like Autumn.I like the way you mentioned Autumn as an appetising cuisine and the comparison of your self with it.

Bom Bhole!

".. The sweet and earthy aroma
Autumn delivers to my table
Is a treat
I never get enough of .."
A beautiful celebration of our natural relation to nature; that we are! Gorgeous poem of freeing delight Jude!
Love, Suzie :-D

... This is quite unbelievable... the SECOND poem I wrote down here was about swans flying overhead, looking like carrier bags of shopping struggling home to put their feet up with a cup of tea! :)) It hasn't quite fitted with my sultry mood of late, but I'll post it tonight as now I don't feel quite so silly... Yes, must be all them twirling, dancing and dizzifying leaves tumblin round all over the show; the woodsmoke and scintillating low sun in amazing skies; the ruttin and the flocking geese (make sure Turner reads that right...) that gets all the senses bouncing - certainly around here. Good to see you beaming again! :)) A dainty little hors d'oeuvre of a write, Jude, that is piquant a l'orange... Jus knew fruit would be in there somewhere...!! PS Not sure you would do too much for geese, but you'd certainly get the hinds' derrieres all aglow! LOL HonK-honK K xx

I too join those savoring Autumn. Perhaps it has to do with my personal lifescape. An excellent rendering indeed. PLB&G for caring and sharing. <Mikii>

Awe, so nice and a great ending!

Great poem, Robert. I love the season, as well. Loved that ending, but then... you never write the obvious. That's one of the things I love about your poems.

Carmen :-)

DELICIOUS !!!

Edible...nah..too much hair...like me! LOL!!!!!



Autumn is my favorite month too and not because I was born in October, just because of the trees and how they come the full circle exiting there stage so colorfully! I should be so lucky!

Wonderful write Jude!

Love and Peace~

Kimmy

Now that is a great contrast begining and end. Victor

share your passion for Autumn's palette, Jude, as so many of us here seem to do. your humor is infectuous and the scenes you paint with words scrumptuous. Dawn
