Fall Leaves

Slate gray skies peered down upon the patchwork quilted pattern of the wheat fields on the plain Viewing the partial barren trees who scattered leaves at their feet The rest tightly clinging on to their gold and green leaves Knowing that a slight breeze will undress them slowly. Scattering their seasons dress to the ones that have fallen below. The breeze dances the leaves across the golden landscape awaiting the new season to arrive.

Wow, this is lovely, Phyllis. We both used personification in our entries and had a similar message. I think yours has better imagery though. Excellent entry and I wish you success, dear! Love, Carolyn
