Thanks so much for this giveaway! I know I have one, but I would like to gift it a very good person who doesn't have one. What I like about fall is all the shades of leaves, and how adorable fall-themed items are! I don't necessarily enjoy the leaves falling though, because on my house we have ~5 trees, and they drop a ton of leaves and making them into piles and cleaning them is a lot of work. But again, tysm for this chance! ^^
One of my favorite autumn poems by
Richard Wilbur:
The Beautiful Changes
One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The Queen Anne?s Lace lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.
The beautiful changes as a forest is changed
By a chameleon?s tuning his skin to it;
As a mantis, arranged
On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.
Your hands hold roses always in a way that says
They are not only yours; the beautiful changes
In such kind ways,
Wishing ever to sunder
Things and things? selves for a second finding, to lose
For a moment all that it touches back to wonder.
