Phyllis Babcock Poet Light Verse

Changing Season

golden amber leaves
waiting for closure 
from the seasons warmth
in kindred spirit they flow
dancing merrily as they fall  
twirling with delight
to the ground below.

soon seasons change
winter's  cold dramatic climate
will blow and scatter aimlessly
covering all in a soft white blanket
hiding each fallen leaf
under the newly fallen snow
until springs warm glow.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen September 2, 2011 at 4:53 AM Nice poem for the upcoming season...fall. I can see the floating leaves...no snow this far south, though. But, I do know it is beautiful! (Soupmail)

Andrea Dietrich September 2, 2011 at 2:40 AM A pretty picture of those golden leaves, as kindred spirit! I wrote a poem long ago called DAncingLeaves and this one makes me remember it. thanks for all those sweet comments the other night, my friend. It is so late and I am here trying to catch up on two days worth of comments. Wish me luck. I want to get up well rested to greet my Friday. I hope all is well with you! Luv,Andrea
