Autumnal Deferral

pumpkin spice

still these leaves refuse

an Autumn slice

a steady descent

with pumpkin spice

filling cups

amid scurrying mice

on a bright breezy day

Nothing nice

about autumn denied, save

pumpkin spice

We fold Autumn into our poems today, over at dVerse.

The pub is open! Come join us!

    Pumpkin spice for me is so similar to gingerbread spice which for me is winter and Christmas… i love the short form of the fold (two haiku and a tanka?)
