Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Promise ticked and fulfilled ♥️♥️ Love the imagery of the dancing leaves, especially that they are fiery. Their movements introduced to us in the beginning, brought life to them so now that they are gone in the last line — leaves that empty space where we hope they would be alive again. Autumn leaves are beautiful like that. Their fiery appearance snuffed out👌🏽 Best of luck on the challenge 🤗 ❤️

  • Lovely and soft.

    Dancing is a great image (& word choice)! 😊 I need to have a brainstorm. I find it hard to write at home and prefer going to the library… what is your ideal writing place/nook? 😃

    I love that initial image—“Dancing Leaves of Fire”. It perfectly describes the red, orange, gold, and auburn of autumn leaves as they swirl in the air. Well done.

    Such a peaceful, suspended moment.
