Brown

Lorna



Tweeds and leather boots ramble

Under late autumn skies

Where dark bark of trees

Are etched in snow dust

And windfallen nuts

Are strewn over brown landscape

Cold winds follow

Trailing back to wooden cabin warmth

A log fire

And tea in a pottery mug

    That's my dream, a log cabin, big pottery mug, log fire. Will I get it this year, will I, Santa.

    • Lorna

      Yes my son..... if you haven't broken any hearts or eaten all the chocolate......

        • dusk arising

          The colour of a full bodied ale to slake a working mans thirst.

          What a delightful poetic picture your words paint today.

          • Lorna

            I should have painted the ale into the picture - thank goodness you thought of it.

          • spilleronsheet

            That’s a cosy dream that I would paint foe my old age
            Another spectacular colour poetry
            All colours I shall favourite
            Great one dear Lorna

            • Lorna

              • woundedheart

                Earthenware mug hot chocolate and a rocking chair on the porch just drinking in the view you lay before our eyes, can almost smell the pinecones and nuts. Lovely. ☺

                • Lorna

                  Well most of us seem to be of like minds here! Isn't that great! Thanks!

                  Wonderful words and imagery Lorna.

                  No sugar in my tea thank you.

                  Andy

                  • Lorna

                    You are disciplined - no sugar! Anything your heart desires Andy! Maybe a touch of something stronger in the tea? And some of the lemon cookies I just made?

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Lemon cookies Eh? My mouth is watering. 😋😋😋

                      Things brown, in abundance
                      Warm us inside and out
                      When die, takes on color brown
                      To fertilize the living ones

                      Really enjoyed the poem

                    • A.H. Browning

                      Love the imagery here. Enjoyed.
                      Kindest Regards.

                      • Lorna

                        Thank you and Merry Holidays..........
