Autumnal Memories

Oh mighty tree whose leaves look on fire
Vibrant orange, red colours spiralling
like feathers, raising ones hopes and desire
gently with aplomb on the trail falling.

Scrunch is the sound children make as they run
tossing the leaves and laughing together
soon to be Christmas with family fun
memories etched in their smile forever

too soon the tree is bare no glow to see,
no mantle to keep the birds safe and warm
winter has cast her white gown on the tree
freezing the roots to keep it safe from harm

storing the vision of that autumn scene
refreshing  thoughts when winters frost is keen

penned october 9. 2018

I like  greens and mauves



ring size.....7.

An autumn delight with the vision of happy children playing with the leaves. It takes so little to please a child. Simple pleasures are the ones we remember. I loved your poem Seren...it is a gift! Congratulations on your most deserving win! : )
