Seasonal Sensory Stanzas

   Inspired by the new season arrival


 Summer concedes and recedes with dignity

Replacing chromatic intensity , an airless, arid atmosphere

With a fresh seasonal spectrum: amber, bronze, copper.

  


 







Pungent wood smoke

Redolent of evenings long past

The peaty pleasures of open hearths.

 


 

 




Cooler climes welcome

The rich sharp tang of ouzo with salty meze,

Soup, sausage, stew.


 

The comforting quaffs of cinnamon tea, apple cider,

Hot chocoalte, mulled wine,

Rich, full-bodied reds.

 


 

 




All give way to low-tone, subdued hues,

Days shorten, notes flatten into

Mellow minor keys of melancholy melodies.
