fall

warmth,

pumpkin spice lattes

hot, spice-soaked coffee drizzled with a splash of cinnamon

coated with half-melted whipped cream, nestled by the delicate fire,

comfort,

your favorite cardigan

airy wool with an array of faded buttons tickled with gold

a spectrum of patterns crisscrossing at the edges,

excitement,

sticky spiderwebs

a house hoarded by the dark and etched away by black

ghosts hogging the corners, always lurking somewhere for you to see,

love,

family

tingled by a warm sensation and a cheer to next year

when summer ends and fall comes again.
