Milton, I love the sight and sound of "skittering" leaves - such great imagery that delights both senses. Your poetic pen spilled gold with this wonderful piece, Autumn is lively and lovely! Well, except for all those leaves to rake ;) Congratulations for your wonderful win in Mala's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
