Autumn Memories

Prompt Words: leaf, gold, air, brown, red, crisp, cocoa, fire

Dawn's crisp autumn air
brings back childhood memories
of Oklahoma so fair.

A yellow leaf falls,
flutters in the morning wind
reflects rays of gold.

Beneath my bare feet
a brown carpet of dead grass
tells me that summer has past

Sunset clouds gather
their charcoal sides burning red:
barbecue briquettes.

Evening's chilly breeze
the aroma of burning leaves
Grandpa watched the fire.

Winter's arrival
always brings memories of
hot cocoa and snow ice cream.
