2 of 12 in the Jemverse ‘October’ series
Dappled sunlight filtered through
the green tunnel up ahead
as carefree there we wandered
uncertain where it led
Not that we were bothered
for we cared not for the time
on such an afternoon as this
with autumn weather fine
The crunch of fallen leaves beneath
our feet as there we trod
with the perfume of October
from the chalky Sussex sod
The dogs frolicked in the undergrowth
and barked at passers by
as we walked on through the sunshine
underneath a cloudless sky
The forest beckoned deeper
but alas we couldn’t stay
though it will always be there
when we return another day
