Autumn Whirling

O withered garden, your dazzle is decaying; And leaves are falling, burnt orange and yellow drop, drifting, twirling and whirling. ______________________ September 5, 2014 Poetry/Tanka/Autumn Whirling Copyright Protected, ID 09-597-659-05 All Rights Reserved, 2014, Constance La France Entered into the Premier contest, Autumn Colors, sponsor, Francine Roberts, Judged 09/2014 Third Place

I feel such sadness when I read this poem. I am a gardener, and this time of the year is not my favourite. I love the last line, since to me, the dropping of leaves, random and slow, is near painful and sums up my feelings for autumn.
