The Good Stuff
Short
Story
Autumn Is
by Ray Malus
Length: 20 lines
- Speaking of Love -
positive
and uplifting
short stories and poems about
Romance, Marriage and true
Love.
If you're in love with love,
then join the club -
everyone who
wants a brighter day and a brighter world belongs to the exact same club
and we're all looking for ways to make our hearts sing and our eyes
shine.
LUCKY for us, Speaking of Love
manages to
do both.
Give yourself,
or someone you care about,
a real treat and read
Speaking of Love now.
You deserve it.
You
deserve to feel wonderful.
You deserve
to feel wonderful right now.

Autumn Is
Autumn is the rekindled smoke of too-long-dormant hearths.
The thrilling shiver of the year’s first frost.
The shrouded velvet dusk of hasty sunsets,
and golden cider warmed and spiced with cloves.
Autumn is the waxy scent of freshly-opened crayons.
The gleam of newly polished schoolroom floors.
The smell of pristine notebooks, filled with promise.
The must of textbooks, rife with unlearned lore.
Autumn is a tinkling harpsichord in muted, doily-ed parlors.
The gleam of lemoned furniture in wanly sunlit dens.
The camphor sting of cedar-chest-sequested woolen blankets.
The medicinal miasma of Vicks Vaporub.
Autumn is the caramel rainbow of a forward pass
etched into an ice-blue sky, one Sunday afternoon,
pomegranates, pumpkin pies and bowls of salted nuts,
and dark arrays of sweet-sticky pitted dates.
Autumn is a meditation on eternity,
A celebration of dearly purchased wisdom.
It is the grace before the evening family meal,
the quiet prayer before a Winter’s sleep.
Success: Autumn...
