Cornucopia


CORNUCOPIA

Bright orange leaves fall softly to the ground
Pots filled with red and yellow mums dot the landscape
Candlelit pumpkins flicker aimlessly in the night

Crisp breezes send wicked shivers down our spine
Apple cider heaped with cinnamon warm our aching bones
Candy corn fills little buckets on All Hallowed's Eve

Black cats hidden in stealth creep out into the night
Witches dart through the sky casting black shadows across the moon 
Forgotten souls unearth their corpses from ghastly chambers

As Fall sets in, so does All Hallowed's Eve.

I gathered up a few words to help you in conjuring up the season and all its wonders. Halloween is fast approaching and Fall has arrived in all its glory. In some areas of the States, cold nights have taken hold giving way to snowy landscapes. Here in the South, Fall is gearing up for its last hooray. I truly love this season, but even more so the peak of it. ENJOY!

  1. I like seeing your fall images, Carol. Though we've had 2 snows that shortened our fall, the weather has at least returned to more fall-like temps. Enjoy this time of change!

  2. Thanks for stopping by Barb. Glad the snow has taken Fall off the calendar for you. Carol

  3. So true, " An abundant supply of good things" and you gathered photos, and found words that mean all that and more. Savour your autumn days well, our cherry trees have blossomed and almost all the flowers are now pale confetti on the driveway and lawn. Wind, it blows the branches bare.

    1. I can only imagine how beautiful the cherry trees are. I think them and dogwoods are my two favorite spring blooms. Carol
