Really great verse, TAPS...
Lovely imagery and sounds. 
Being forced by weather or health to stay inside is very much akin to being trapped in a web!

That is indeed very fine poetry catering to the senses of sight and sound. The evocation is perfectly matched.

I just love the autumn colours.... but we don't get to see them here:( your poem celebrates the season beautifully. Sometimes i too feel the same indoors.

I've just been thinking, I need some wilds to restore what politics
and social interactions and busy-ness have gnawed away of my sense of gladness for the real and natural world. On the hike in Castlewood Canyon, I heard rustling in the leaf carpet, and suddenly a little critter, maybe a mountain beaver, scuttled across the trail into the leaves on the other side. Too quick to get a picture, but some things it's as well not to capture, but to let the moment come and go and remain in memory, just a touch of sweetness.

You are right of course. One is better off mentally to be out and about...but Oh I love my home.

Quite an enchanting poem, perhaps the thought of you tripping through the woods might be a bit still valid.

One feels so alive when one is out in nature, especially in fall and spring.

Such a waste to be inside when you have all the trimmings of this poem outside. Excellent imagery

I love it! I brightens my morning, and of course it makes me think of my own wanderings in the woods...
