Jan Allison Poet Cinquain

Notes About The Poem

Autumn Stroll

Dappled 
Sunlight streaming
Casting dancing shadows
Leaves whispering very gently…
Listen 


Crunchy
Foliage falls
Wizened leaves decaying
Autumnal blanket covers earth - 
Stunning

Andrea Dietrich October 22, 2015 at 3:17 PM these are very pretty, Jan. Love the picture. it is cool that you are doing a contest.
