Morning Autumn Coffee

My feet ache but pleasantly
Walking barefoot on the cobbles
To gather wood from the pile
A morning fire with coffee

Dew on the edge of frost
Touches every outdoor thing
Breath huffs veil the sun
Hints of a snapping Fall day

The mug steams the fire
Grows from spark to flame
And I in wingback cuddle
Listen to its subtle snore

I feel the contentment, love the line " breath huffs veil the sun".

Sitting here with a cup of coffee I can smell the aroma and feel the moisture of damp leaf. We have storm ongoing for the last day or so, interspersed with hot sunshine.

Lovely and evocative as I remembered childhood days in Autumn

This is a poem and a half, at least: every word contributes, the writing tight as a drum --- with many verbal felicities in a short span of lines. Bravo, and indeed, bravissimo!
