Hard bits

All is not always lovely, even in my favorite season.  I am working on holding the lovely and the not so lovely... together.

I love Fall.

The season

The leaves

The sunlight angling

Just so,

The contrast of blue

And clouds,

Dark birds migrating south.

I know they will return again.

I do not love to eat

Fall vegetables,

Hard and orange

They must be peeled

And baked

Or boiled.

Someone even figured

How to carve them

Into faces.

Still

Fall is my favorite season

Even

With the difficult bits.
