Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves are turning yellow
Whirling, twirling, fluttering down.
Little squirrel, tail aquiver
Searches on the frosty ground.
In the sky the birds are calling
Flying south to find the sun,
In the earth the seeds are buried
Sleeping ‘til the winter’s done.

I love the imagery and flow of this. It's a perfect presentation of the sort of melancholy that settles in late Autumn. The last sigh before the cold. Beautifully written, May. I hope winter is kind to you. ;)
