Notes About The Poem

Free illustrations of Leaves

Autumn


birds wake from their nests
to prune wing feathers and sing ... 
           colored leaves flying

Reads like a good contender to me. It is interesting how birds preen their feathers especially waterfowl who do that to distribute oil onto their feathers. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my page with congratulations. Sara
