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.

L Milton Hankins Date: 9/30/2022 11:12:00 AM Thank you, Michael. Hope you don't have too much raking to do.

Jim Slaughter Date: 9/30/2022 10:02:00 AM Rather like those "whirling dervish" guys from Turkey, I believe. I love the imagery here, L M. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 9/30/2022 11:13:00 AM Thanks, Jim. Yes, indeed. I didn't think of them.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 9/30/2022 9:55:00 AM "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!

Sara Kendrick Date: 9/30/2022 9:33:00 AM 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.

Jeff Kyser Date: 9/30/2022 9:01:00 AM 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. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 9/30/2022 11:14:00 AM 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!
