A carpet of fire beneath bare maples
Guardians of the country house:
A stucco building with balconies of green
Tucked neatly near the forest’s edge
A memory of hide and seek among the trees
Children’s laughter, feet shuffling through leaves
Playing “Romeo and Juliet” with cousins
Singing in rounds of Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Watching squirrels collect their treasures
Catching grasshoppers in the tall grass
Warming up in front of the fireplace
With a mug of hot cocoa steaming
Grandma telling a story from days gone by
Autumn splendor for a holiday.
