Autumn Leaves

4:50 PM 4 oct 2014

Watching children play in the autumn leaves
Takes me back in time to fond memories

Autumn colors dark and bright
Raking leaves from noon till night

Giant piles of colorful fun
Leaping in then out for a run

Around the the yard can't catch me
Then back into the pile of leaves

Tunneling through to the other side
OUCH a  stick poke in the eye 

Popping up to rub it well
Hoping its not to red for mom to tell

Then looking around at the mess I made
I grab the rake and clean it up just so I can make it another day

Thank you Miss Jan. I saw some children today playing in the leaves and having such fun and it inspired the poem from my memories. God bless
