Autumn has arrived,
with winter close behind
and the cold is creeping
closer every day.
But I have my cosy
woollen winter coat.
I plan to walk about,
through wind and rain,
fog and snow,
hands in deep pockets
until spring comes around again.

This Monday at the dVerse Poets Pub we are writing quadrilles with De, and the prompt word is ‘pocket’.
Such a lovely pic of you, Kim!!!!! You look like you are in your element. Happy to see it’s still mostly green there. The seasons like to keep us busy, don’t they.

LOVE the pic! And the idea of walking through all the colder weather ahead, with hands in pockets, until you walk into spring and warmer weather! Pockets are warm …. and cozy!
