Pour me a palette of autumn peach,
blend it in the basin of almond milk,
and let it fuse into my cheeks.
Stir memories of a rustic kiss,
a solemn wooden swing.

A gush of wind and its retreat.
An ounce of rain above my brow.
The sentiment of you and me –
the eyes of burning bronze.
An instant left to cling...

...the original blush
of peaches and cream.
Happy September everyone! Here's my first fall-like poem for this year. I've included quite a bit of slant rhyme, as well as alliteration. I hope you enjoy! Feedback is much appreciated. :orange:
