Amid Falling Leaves

Amid falling leaves, Beneath the rasping trees, Nature sounds A little groggy with sleep. Proud and defiant wind Puffs its lips Out with its bad- Temper breath. Leaves tussle with a few laps Around not touching the ground. A wink of Autumn amorous Sweep through the coppice. Novice is the breeze Alone reaching then Once, twice, and thrice Refusing to meet rustle shadows. Who can resist the deep, Natural colors of deep earthy Toning melodic colors And green display? Caramel, lemon, crimson, And dark chocolate hues Against a spectrum of light And freshen air of sweetness. 7/27/2020 Pick-A-Title, Vol 20 - Free Verse 3 - Poetry Contest 1.

Eve, I think you were there! Your Leaves creates a sense of drama, and of stark reality. 'Proud and defiant wind, puffs its lips' very much sinks the reader into the scene.
