I could go crazy on a night like tonight

[joflasher]

I can feel you coming.

A scent in the back of the throat, a bite in the air, a slight shift of color out of the corner of an eye.

Dry leaves, condensed breath, crisp nights and candle light.

I can't SEE you but I can feel you out there.

As short as this summer has been, as desperately as I am trying to hold on to it, I am still eagerly waiting for autumn.

I'm always waiting for autumn.

And right now, its waiting for me.

Wow, what a great poem!

I'm jealous.

I'm too much of a formalist to write like this.

It wasn't meant to be a poem. It was just stream of conscienceness from coming back inside after lunch.

But it works so well as a poem :-D

It was smelling like autumn here in CO before I left for PA.
All cool and windy now; haven't yet been out to sniff today (it was raining when we got back last night).
...Being in PA has me all messed up now. Autumn, Summer, and back to (likely) Autumn...
And it's only Autumn that makes me want to work like a maniac...
