My Favorite Time of Year: Poems and Pictures

Colored leaves fall down

pie baking in the oven

I sip hot chocolate

BEAUTIFUL Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
~Lewis Carroll~

How I have waited for your appearance.
With muted
sighs and a
welcoming smile
I place you within
my waiting mouth.
O sweet brown and lovely velvet

that clings to my lips
and sweeps past
the sensitive and waiting

buds upon my tongue!
~Brandi Dialessi~

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.

~ Elizabeth Lawrence~

One day I found two pumpkin seeds.

I planted one and pulled the weeds.

It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.

A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
