Notes About The Poem

Autumn Wind

A litany of leaves tango
to the tune of your chilly flow,
so windblown.

Moody clouds move silently by
in a turbulent silver sky,
as windfalls.

Showing signs of your wrath, the trees,
to whipping the waves of the seas,
so windswept.

Oh how sad Andrea. I loved yours. Makes sense now that I didn't see it on the winners list.
