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.
