Written for:  Poetic Asides PAD November 2020 Challenge - Day 11


Autumn, while beautiful, means death
for all those purple petunias, while
lavender lessens in color, and eating
plucots comes to an end.  On a
table yellow and violet candles lit
for a cheery ambience, make for a delightful dinner.

(Taken from a line in a Charles Bukowski poem entitled
The Circus of Death)
  "Death while eating a candlelit dinner"
