THE MEANING OF AUTUMN


Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Potrait of Shadow

Today's Prompt ~ rondeau redoublé
~

A grey ball of fluff on a gravy train
She's a princess, a wit, a cool, cool cat
An actress who prides in prim disdain
A treasure who loves an int'resting chat


She swoons in the never-ending pat
Soft cushions give her a charming refrain
Dreams are sweet on her window mat
A grey ball of fluff on a gravy train


A brush of her fur is her daily champagne
Selective food ensures she's not fat
Tuned into a psychologist's vein
She's a princess, a wit, a cool, cool cat


A Cleopatra with romantic hat
A lively dancer who abhors the rain
A singer who sighs like a spoilt brat
An actress who prides in prim disdain


A beautiful soul who keeps me sane
A dearest friend who loathes a spat
Her rubs and eyes ease my stress and pain
A treasure who loves an int'resting chat


Her character swings like a ball and bat
From funny to serious and back again
She's so very special and she knows that
A gem who offers a heavenly chain


A grey ball of fluff...
