Another smell of autumn
sweet sweet fragrance
of Concord grapes
warming ripening
heavy on the vines
ready to burst with flavor
strong urgent smell
lured me closer
spreading outward
from the makeshift arbor
a plume twenty feet wide
enticing, coaxing
wooing me to linger
luxuriate in its aroma
smile at the memory
of other pickings
long ago
more Sweet fruit
high above me,
out of reach
up in the canopy
formed by wire and bush
