In Book Heaven!

The summer heat still lingers

But the leaves crisp up and brown

The cotton clouds have fringes

The knotweed’s been scythed down.

 

A morning chill is forecast

We must prepare for rain

My bookshelf beckons - it's so vast

Let's snuggle up again!

 

Shall I turn the heating on

And sink in deep armchair?

I think my Autumn is on song

With reading matter near!

 

Reality today seems grim;

Disasters feed the news

But with a book to get stuck in

I switch off and enthuse!
