Written for: Poets and Storytellers United Writers' Pantry #37: Rise of the stink bugs (posted by Rommy) "As someone who loves to notice the cycles of nature around me, and tries to find the beauty of every season, I try to think of it less as “argh… that’s the 9th stink bug I’ve thrown out of the house this morning” and more “ah, well, I guess the cooler weather is here to stay, so I can dig out my favorite sweaters and enjoy chai tea”. At least that’s my goal. What seasonal things do you look forward to?" Colors, colors, colors– mustard, fiery orange, robust red. I stop looking over my shoulder for wasps. My gaze is glued to trees' hues. Some leaves fall early, nicely crunchable. Air feels fresher on my face, cooler breeze invigorates. Pumpkins on vines, hot apple cider, add to season's scintillating scents. https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/
