FALL

FALL 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Falling leaves, once vibrant fists of green, bow to placid flames.
Autumnal breeze plays in both up-tempo and gentle lulls.
Leaves, a symphony of umbers and golds, serve as crunching meditation.
Living life fully in sanguine scarlet before the season’s gentle letting go.

Dear Sara, I feel the symphony of falling leaves in every Fall song on YouTube.

This one reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Isn't fall wonderful. We are having mornings this week that are like fall temperature wise and the feel of the air, but the afternoons heat up. As the week goes on it will get warmer once again so I don't know how long it will last. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

thank you for your kind and affirmative comments. I agree, Sara K. Fall is delightful...it's as if the world is 'on pause' right now...we're experiencing cooler days but some warmth will return later this week. Appreciate your visit and comments, blessings, Sara B
