Poetry by Lemmon

i been looking for this one in my many notebooks for weeks....

In the Fall

In the fall
I curl up in my shell
I'm here but i'm not here
I'm talking to myself
In the fall
I start to hybernate
people, I can't relate
I'm floating off in space
In the fall
Keep my pen and notebook near
there's a thought between my ears
I'll write it down in there
In the fall
time to stack the wood pile high
pick pecans and make some pie
Lay sweaters flat to dry
In the fall
take a cold crisp morning walk
through the dead woods and fear not
for the rattlesnakes are gone
In the fall
I just sit and wait for spring
It's the most wonderous thing
I will be free again
till then........
It's the fall

Lemmon A.R.R.
