FIRST PLACE

"A rain of lurid leaves falls thro' the air, and lies in drifted heaps
upon the ground, and thro' the hawthorn hedge with murmuring
sounds of sorrow keen, and the wind bemoans the fair dead ..."

— John Brenizer, "An Autumn Idyl," 1897

Field & Forest | Free Web Headers

in the autumn breezes silent trees shed their leaves in shades of vivid yellow, orange, red purple, brown, and maroon and the many hues 'tween they rustle beneath the quiet weeping trees then, fluttering twirl, leap painted by nature's watercolor brush divine, sublime are the withering leaves fading away shortening daylight days, temperatures cooling and leaves gather in stained-glass heaps pigments and tints dwindling fading, fading like an old vintage photograph I love to touch veined leaves trace those souls dying that fall apart crumbling away, falling they are quite dead ... but to me they are still beautiful
