Falling From October
Skies by Darlene Beck Jacobson
Autumn blows amber gusts
Leaves descend from aerial perches
riding the wind
Dancing pirouettes
They land to the crackling applause
of those that came before
Now huddled together in the aisles
Only the feet of men and beasts disturb their slumber
"Crackling applause!" LOVE that...
ReplyDeleteThat picture makes me want to go kicking through leaves. "They land to the crackling applause of those that came before"...what a great image!
ReplyDeleteNice! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous--I saw those swirling leaves!
ReplyDeleteSwishing through leaves is still a favorite fall activity/memory. Thanks for the comments.
