Autumn Leaves

Autumn fills the air, with pretty leaves raining down. The trees are getting bare, as a carpet of leaves cover the ground. I love seeing yellow, orange and red everywhere, the falling leaves have a real flair. In Autumn we find cooler days and nights, along with many leaves for the raking. Oh autumn leaves your beauty will not stay, for now they need to be cleaned up. Do not be sad you will return next year, next year for us to once again enjoy.

Autumn is perhaps the most colorful of the seasons in Western countries. Unfortunately we do not have such a prominent autumn. Your Autumn Leaves is a remarkably vivid portrayal of the niceties of autumn.

I miss those colorful leaves. There isn't as much color in a desert, but not any raking either. Thanks for this lovely poem.

Lovely and fun all at the same time, Paula! We planted two Liquid Amber trees in our front yard. Every year they are a symphony of fall along with many hours of raking leaves each week! Ah, the upside and downside of God's creation! If this is for a contest, best wishes! Blessings of autumn joy, that you have so wonderfully captured, to you!
