Welcome to the Living Poetry prompt scene! Stop by on Mondays for more lovely ideas from prompt master Barker. This is a lovely poem. I especially liked the crispness, the colors, the scents.
No matter results
I will still step forth each day
with my head held high
results are really about
how I act in my own life
I just hope my smile
is written on my face
and natural to my soul
Finally posted my reaction to this prompt:

Fall
Chanah L. Wizenberg
Chilled crisp air
carrying the sweet scent
of apple trees in bloom.
I walk through
the dried leaves
delighting in their crunch
beneath my feet.
I watch the leaves fall
from their trees
delighted by
the bright colors.
The reds, oranges,
and yellows.
In life and in death,
nature’s remarkable
work.
Taking a deep breath.
A good long sniff,
my nostrils fill with the
chilled scent of decayed
leaves.
I can’t help it.
I love that smell.
Rich, robust and
somehow, life-affirming.
