Dancing In the Street

Leaves are dancing in the street Skittering with the autumn breeze Something about this is very sweet Leaves are dancing in the street, Raking them, though, is not so neat The limbs are now bare on the trees Leaves are dancing in the street Skittering with the autumn breeze.

They are dancing mother nature has waved her wand and they are spiraling down doing their dance. Lovely images conveyed my friend. Thanks for sharing.

We are surrounded by trees. We start as soon as they start falling. So it is not too bad.

Thank you, Michael. Hope you don't have too much raking to do.

Rather like those "whirling dervish" guys from Turkey, I believe. I love the imagery here, L M.

Thanks, Jim. Yes, indeed. I didn't think of them.

"leaves are dancing in the street" - we have living proof because we are having our driveway re blacktopped, and we cannot keep the leaves off!

It will be hard to do this time of the year. They are fluttering down all around me.

We've got those leaves dances and tree limb shaking but no rain. Great work in this Triolet. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Most of the trees here are still quite green, but I guess we're a good bit south of you. A lovely time of year, one of my favorites! Enjoyed, Milt.

I love the colors, but that's about it. I am a warm weather nut! I can always take off clothes in the summer, but I can't find enough to put on in the winter. I'm always cold!
