It peaked around the corner at me this morning
then like a friendly ghost
it hid.
The friendly part is my favorite.
The haunting part, not so much.
I did feel it.
It was there.
I know it’s coming back and it’s coming back to stay, at least for a few months any ways.
Some years,
actually most years
its full of the strongest emotional memories.
The friendly part is my favorite.
The haunting part, not so much.
Some years
actually most years,
I wish it could stay longer,
but I also understand why it can’t.

pumpkins

recipe collecting
storing up plans
un-storing pilgrim decorations
red and green boldly arriving early to the festivities
scarecrows
front porch swings
weathered veins
late blooms
fresh memories
Autumn
seasons within a season
It peaked around the corner me this morning
then like a friendly ghost
it hid.
The friendly part is my favorite.
The haunting part, not so muc

Hi! Can you fix where a word is left out in my poem?
Opening line should read “ it peaked around the corner AT me” That same line towards the end is also missing the work AT.
Thank you so much! It’s an honor to be in your journal.
