I can smell fall in the air
I can also feel it too
When I look upon a tree
I can see fall's colors bright
I love the smell of burning leaves
As it's aroma fills the air
Then there is Applebutter smell
Stirred up in a tub with spices
One can always smell the wood
Burning in a fireplace
Smoke curling up the chimney stack
Leaves a feeling of warmth
How many bonfires do you make
To roast hot dogs and marshmallows too
Friends and family gather around
Sharing this happy time around the fire
Then smell the pumpkin as it cooks down
To fill a pie shell to bake
Thanksgiving dinner will soon be here
One might even make some little tarts too
Then pick a harvest of apples
Many dishes one can make
From tarts to pies, to cider
Also bobbing for apples too
I also like the crisp clean air
It smells so very sweet
It gives me roses in my cheeks
And a smile to all that I see
Author notes
So many wonderful aromas come with fall, it's hard to remember them all.

Oh a walk through the aromas of such October's past. The only ctirque I woudl ever give to this is to show more rather than tell. Thank you for this warming poem on this cold gray day.
