Smell of Autumn – v4

Ripe smell of autumn

sweet sweet fragrance, perfume

of Concord grapes hanging

warming, readying for harvest

ripening heavy on the vines

ready to burst with flavor

strong urgent smell

lured me closer, the bees

the vines, the cloud of aroma

spreading outward

from the makeshift arbor

a plume twenty feet wide

enticing, coaxing

wooing me to linger

luxuriate in its mist

smiling at the memory

of other pickings

long ago, my youth

more Sweet fruit

high above me,

out of reach

up in the canopy

formed by wire and bush
