Sudipta Mishra, Puri, 7 October 2023
With the soft breeze and caressing days
Autumn brings lulling nights for all…
With the advent of this awaited season
All farmers dance in a joyous fervor…
For the harvest is all over the place
With pumpkins, apples, and grapes…
Inciting feasts, whispering of birds
Signal the arrival of the richest season…
Rustling leaves invite our attention
As a golden carpet spreads everywhere…
Red, orange, green, and brown foliage
Scatter and fall everywhere on the ground…
In the long nights, short days of the year
We await to rest in the cosy, snowy winter…
It’s the season of ripening when we rejoice
And revel in Halloween nights around the bonfire…
The fruits and plums whisper in our ears
To join in the glory of falling in love with each other!!!
