Cozy Contemplations - 17. Chapter 17 Imminent Arrival

i leave autumn, too. these are a nice intro to fall, but now i want pie  

These made me chilly and wanting a sweater and slippers. I also want to get out and walk the forest looking at the changing leaves.  Beautiful images, my friend  

Pretty amazing set. I looked back to the first poetry prompt and see you tried Tanka out way back when, but these are mature and perfectly crafted. Together, they are like an intimate walk in an autumnal landscape full of memories and wishes for the future. Thanks for sharing with us. 

You are so talented Headstall. I like all 4 of your contemplations if you ask me which one spoke to my heart, I have to say two of them:
Ceasefire and Harbinger.
But all four of them are very good.  In life, you have to make choices and this evening I chose these two. I always look to see if there is a new story or contemplations.

I love these poems and the images they bring.

These are great evocations of the changing seasons...but you pen them in the midst of a physical torment brought on by the gods, and my not getting a flu shot yet.  I may be seeing daylight at the end of the tunnel...I hope. 

For those who may have read 1066 And All That...not quite 'obit surfeiti palfreyorum'.  I think that's close.

You make my knees ache with these too--or it could be dread of the impending arrival of the Frost Giants.

Beautifully done my friend - my favs are Ceasefire and Slippers

Snippets of autumn. The only thing missing was the tang of smoke from burning leaves ... and a mug if spiced cider.

Autumn caught in all its retiring grandeur.

Ode to buckthorn was my favourite, especially the peppered walkway. But I enjoyed them all. 

Thanks, northie

These make me think it's almost time for hot chocolate, a duvet, and a good book curled up on the settee  

 

Great work  

Thanks, Caz... autumn rocks

I loved these Tankas. Each speaks of the seasons to me; the scent of the changes in the earth and the ripeness of harvest. Beautiful. Very beautiful. 

Thanks, Parker

Thanks so much, Job! Hopefully my writing will pick up soon

Sorry, buddy. This is the time of year when viruses get their foothold.

 Great snapshots of fall. I love the images of nature you paint with words.
