| Another smell of autumn
sweet sweet smell of Concord grapes warming ripening ready to burst with flavor strong urgent smell lured me closer spreading outward from the makeshift arbor a plume twenty feet wide enticing, coaxing me to linger luxuriate in its aroma smile at the memory of other pickings long ago Sweet fruit high above me, out of reach up in the canopy formed by wire and bush Smell of Autumn by Raymond A.

| Oh yes, the sweetest ones always out of reach, at least for me, but not wasted - the yellow jackets get them and appreciate them... |

| Very nice poem about fall. Oh, yes the biggest oranges and the first to ripe apples are on the top of the trees. Lol, talking about smells of autumn. Some years we've had an over abundance of apples, they fall to the ground and ferment and our whole yard smells like hard cider. |
