Poetry: Cuffing Season

With every season  

The Palouse hills show their true character.  

Come fall, wheat yellows, 

Soil is overturned and  

The loan becomes a new.  

Much like these hills, 

People begin to turn a page, 

A new chapter, 

And experience newfound affinities  

With hearts throbbing.  

It’s cuffing season, and everyone is taken  

The sweet fall air makes us need someone  

to cozy up with as weather becomes bitter.  

Pumpkin patches are full of harvest,  

apples fall from trees into our mugs.  

Enjoying toasty apple cider, 

with each other’s significant other.  

Much to do with the people we love, 

Friends, family and our better halves.  

May we all find a moment, 

holding hands under the lights of Main Street.
