I haven't had time to write any new poetry, but in honor of the seasons, I wanted to re-post this one that I wrote last year. I changed the title though as this one fits better. Enjoy.
Craft Faire
Autumn is approaching
And with it is a forest
Of aging leaves - colors
All over the spectrum.
Cardinal reds,
Lemon chiffon yellows,
Pumpkin orange,
Even eggplant purple.
Through my sweatshirt,
I feel the brisk winds pick up
and bring goosebumps
To my arms and legs
as I hunt for the biggest pumpkin
In the pumpkin field.
Corn stalks,
Harvested for decoration,
Stand sentinel against a craft booth.
Homemade soaps and
Indian dream catchers
Hang gracefully from white tents with
Framed cross-stitch and
Quilts showing a country life
that I embrace
And love
And can not get enough of.
Autumn is approaching
And life can not get any sweeter than this.

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy
A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
