Autumn leaves

Autumn leaves And on its heels A savage wind Hunts its offspring Pursuing their faint scent Riffling the golden fields The curtain falls A slow darkness ensues The lights dim In stillness

Sometimes, John, I'm confused as to how to respond to your poetry. I'm usually waiting for the punchline. Even when you write something seriously good about nature. I wanted to add another line at the end of this one.... SNOWBALL FIGHT!!! Forgive my moment of insanity.
