PIONEER POEM: AUTUMNAL NIGHTS

Owl watches on high
Cowl hooded toadstools

Lark sounds his shrill chirp
Dark thoughts are dispelled

Magic home aglow
Tragic tales be gone

Cobbled pathway smooth
Hobbled gnomes seek rest

Stone bridge subtle curves
Lone frog soundly croaks

Lamp light leads the way
Damp mist fills the air

Safe warm rooms inside
Waif and stray embrace

Fog caresses trees
Log blazes on hearth

Fear naught in these woods
Hear the babbling brook

Soft surroundings drift
Oft autumnal nights

Cowl hooded toadstools
Owl watches on high
