Pine Trees
-Chilled air seeping in
Windows only partly closed
Fresh, autumn, pine scents
Colder breezes send to me
Seasonal welcomed fragrance
-“to me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian carpet”. Helen Keller.
-Pine forests needed
Hardy character native
Needles, winter fare
Lovely pine trees offer scents
Citrusy, calming, cleansing.

I remember Tito Puente. He set music behind Mambo and Cha Cha lyrics.
Love the Helen Keller quote.
