    Poem I wrote for today

    On a day like this
    clouds low overhead
    tree leaves on fire
    and books unread
    I retreat to the pub
    my pipe in hand
    for a dram of uisge
    and worries remand.
    Hemingway, Behan,
    great works abound
    I savor the words
    both light and profound.
    A nip of the dram
    A puff on the briar
    I'm settled in for Autumn
    I've all I require.

    That's just great! - now I can't concentrate on work anymore...

    Seriously, that's a great poem. I can almost hear the dry leaves rustling along the wooded path near my home - calling to me.

    Makes me look forward to the "extra" time winter brings to relax (after the wood is all in )
