Autumn Time

In the crisp autumn air
as the golden sun embraces
the countryside devoid of leaves
the recent canopy of colours
fell like a constant stream of confetti
the soft breath of wind blew
leaving trees standing naked
only the scent of pines hung heavily
cooler air carried it's fragrance
the crevices clung onto the leaves
daring the wind to blow them away
others  caught in the wind
dancing for glee whirling and twirling
swaying to and fro in a country wind hoe down.

Love this Phil. The imagery here is perfect. I can see the Autumn wind blowing the leaves across the ground. The colors of the leaves adding to the beauty of the season. A fine write. Good luck in the contest. A winner in my book. God Bless, JB

Thank you so much my friend for your wishes. I have not looked at the list of people included and if you are one congratulations back. Busy with a sick mother at the moment and had both my eyes done with cataracts so have not been writing. love phyl
