Patricia Cresswell Poet Free verse

Avec Amour

Avec Amour

softly seasons change
melting into one another
winter to spring
Sping to summer.

but fall strides
in seven league 
ice boots, hugging
trees so tight
they blush crimson
drop their tarted leaves
like brilliant skirts
around their ancient ankles
then sleep sated
through the winter.

Lim'Rik Flats October 20, 2017 at 6:39 PM Woo Woo Woo (I think that is a French triple wowsa;-) Now I know why some leaves blush scarlet. Tarted! Whew. The sumac leaves called to me on a recent walk, almost brought some home.
