Poem written for and submitted to "September Sestet (SS) poety contest, Andrea Dietrich, sponsor, September 16, 2025

ACORNS - SS

ACORNS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
acorns,
tiny dancers in brown shoes,
pirouette on currents of September’s cool air,
twirling with the falling leaves,
a ballet of earth tones,
a silent, rustling symphony.

Sara Kendrick September 17, 2025 at 2:56 AM Very creative one. It won't be long before they will be dancing in the breeze upon our roof. Quite noisy in the middle of the night. This one reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K sara Etgen-Baker September 17, 2025 at 6:17 PM oh my gosh, dancing on your roof....you must have some rather large trees. Acorns are falling here, not off the oaks, but off the pine oaks...and they're everywhere. thanks, Sara K, for visiting and for your encouragment, hugs, Sara B
