Poetry Day

"Invalid Item" 

Prompt. Poetry Day! Yes, this is the one day during the contest that everyone must write a poem. And before I hear grumbling, there will be a day that everyone has to write a short story. So everyone gets a fair challenge. Today, you need to write a poem about a walk through the woods in autumn. Be as descriptive as possible without using the following words or any variation thereof: tree, leaf, red, yellow, purple, brown, crisp. Example of variations: leaf/leaves, crisp/crispy, etc. However, feel free to use more descriptive words in their place!

Autumn’s promise

Autumn is all about fluffy vests on top of thicker clothing,
pulling out my winter coat; wow, has it been a year?
Heating my house ‘cause it is chilly out there.

Autumn is all about hotchpots, mashy stews with meat,
trying out new recipes ‘cause we’re staying in.
Rain and winds. Even the dog won’t want to go out!

Autumn is all about changing colors in the forest,
greenish orange flustering fronds on top of hazel.
Chocolate and coffee, nuts and pumpkins.

Autumn is all about shifting moods from out to in:
outgoing, outdoors, inwards and inner circle.
Nearing the end of the year. Hibernating.
