Donna Jones Poet Couplet

Autumn's Breath

Autumn's breath, a gentle sigh
Trees waving this year's final goodbye

I breathe in air, cool and crisp
As colored jewels fall, a fleeting wisp

Yellows, orange and reds, mix with green
Swirling...tumbling...falling...

Leaving autumn's rainbow, neath my feet
For a glorious while, then to retreat 

Among autumn's breath, away they go
Scattered hither, to and fro

Carried away by autumn's breath
Awaiting winter's cold blanket of death

Donna Jones
