Autumn Delight

The autumn breeze danced
among the multi colored trees
It smiled mischievously as it
whirled and twirled endlessly 
tirelessly with strong forceful gusts
It tugged at the vibrant colored leaves
The leaves clutched the branches
not wanting to fall
They were no match for the brisk breeze
With a soft sigh they descend to autumn's call.

Amazing imagery, Phyllis. Through your pen, I can see the leaves being pulled from the trees, only to whirl "endlessly" in the wind. I absolutely love the way you ended the poem with the "soft sigh" as leaves "descend to autumn's call." You must be seeing some signs of autumn now. A tropical storm formed right over the part of Florida where I live yesterday and I was watching its gusts tear limbs from trees. Great to read your work! Love, Carolyn

Thanks Carolyn so nice to see you here. Hope the storm missed you. yes fall is lovely and days are getting colder. Birds still have not headed south so that is a positive sign for a longer fall. love phyl
