Musing on the Doorstep

The wind gets up, the leaves spin fast

Cascading downwards as I pass

Then swept away with heavy brush,

But still they swirl round in a rush.

 

I give it up - let Nature win …

Now quite resigned as days draw in

To venture out, all wrapped up warm

When ten o’clock sky looks like dawn!

 

Toadstools sprout along the lane

Thanks to warming autumn rain

But ‘trick or treat’ did not appear

Halloween – a sad affair…

 

COVID ruins simple pleasures

With its, ever stricter, measures

If this November things look bleak

Of Christmas, folks, let us not speak!
